Redblacks say fewer than 6,000 tickets remain for 2017 Grey Cup
OTTAWA — The Ottawa Redblacks say tickets for the 2017 Grey Cup are moving at a brisk pace, which is welcome news for the CFL after organizers of the 2016 league championship in Toronto struggled to fill the stands.
The Redblacks said in a release Wednesday that fewer than 6,000 tickets remain for the 105th Grey Cup, which will be held Nov. 26 at TD Place and will coincide with Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations.
The Redblacks’ home stadium will be expanded from 24,000 seats to approximately 35,000 to accommodate the game.
Tickets are currently only available to season-ticket holders and fans that purchase a five-game “Home Opener Ticket Pack.” The remaining Grey Cup tickets will be released on a first-come, first-serve basis on June 8.
