2012 WDF Attendance

[274always]

we already have 35,000 sold for the east final in Montreal so we should expect 50,000+ as well.

i remeber in 1984 it came down to the last game of year for the lions to win the west , not only did they sell out against the bombers, for the last game of the season, but when the western final tickets went on sale on the monday ( of course no internet back then you had to line up) they sold something like 35,000 in one day and the line up around bc place was so big to buy tickets the waite was 4 hours long. , then the lions acually sold out the game by thursday, 8 days before the game.

Yeah, the Lions defence forced six turnovers and limited the Winnipeg offence to only seven first downs and 181 yards while Tim Cowan and the offence did the rest in that 20-3 win. Too bad the Lions couldn't repeat that performance two weeks later in the WDF.

Sure seems quiet. I wonder where tickets sales are at. Still over a week until game time.

Lower bowl looks to be down to about 20 to 30 pairs at the most, all in end zone. Given where the upper bowl sales are (especially near midfield which usually don't sell as well), it has to be at least around the 36,000 mark that took in the season finale. I expect the Lions to release a solid number on sales as early as Monday to try to build momentum.

Still think Stamps will attract low to mid 40s and Riders will easily exceed 50,000. Seats would starting flying around 4:30 today with a Riders win.

I agree Sammy, for those casually waiting to buy their WDF tickets, they might be in trouble come Monday or Tuesday should Sask win today...I see a sell out, or near sell out....

[dfootball]

seeing what has been sold so far on ticketmaster which is accurate with the map ( as a friend of mine says who works at ticketmaster) i say they are close to 37,000 if they hit 40,000 by tuesday we will hit 50,000 even if it is calgary, if it is Sask look out sell out.

Did you guys see the leg turn on the argos quaterback ? ouchhh

Are the upper deck endzone seats from 711? If they are then they are not considered sold yet right?

Upper deck east end zone is the 7-Eleven section and shows as sold, even though most of those seats are never resold to the public. The upper deck west end zone is for individual and group sales and should show more accurately on the Ticketmaster chart.

Currently over 36,000 according to Farhan Lalji of TSN (who, incidentally, is the best sideline reporter in the CFL). So just under a week to sell less than 14,000 seats (to get to 50K). Looking pretty good.

Ticket sales for Western Final are currently over 36,000

It look like a heck of a lot more than 36K on the Ticketmaster website. I wonder if they include the 7-11 seats as pre-sold? Anyone know? If they don't looks closer to 40K than 36K right now.

[gadams99]

Has anybody heard any numbers on the ticket sales for the Western Final?

Nice! Still lots of time to get to 50K. A Riders win would have escalated the process but we should still have a good crowd come kickoff.

[Qman]

if you go on the ticketmaster website. you and see the lower bowl is gone and half the upper bowl is gone. So high-30s right now.
