What's the Stampeders season ticket holder discount percentage

It sucked, I'm in section i and it basically dropped the price of two tickets by around $60, it was still going to cost almost $900 after the discount for section I seats, I said no thanks. but I'm seeing the same thing as most people in this thread, everyone is looking to sell their tickets at cost, which for an overpriced event, is still overpriced. I think come the weekend especially if the weather is cold all those red seat corporate tickets will be handed out for free pretty quickly. They were almost deserted for the semi final.

I think Stoon is nicer than Regina, but I can't imagine a worse "city" than Regina. They're both basically a glorified Brandon, tho... 

Now, Now, we both lived there for many years, Brandon is many times better than either of those Cities. They aspire to being as good as Brandon

More concerning is Stamps attendance which is in free fall. Great team but the crowds are getting smaller & smaller.... Fans just don't want to go to games at the 58 year old McMahon Stadium. Plus losing the last 2 Grey Cups has pissed a lot of people off here & have decided that they don't want to go to games anymore. Those 2 losses has really hurt the bottom line. We need a new stadium here but no one wants to build one. The Flames who own the Stamps only care about their team. They want a new $600 million arena for their hockey team & the City & the Flames are back negotiating but it does not include a new stadium.  Meanwhile the team keep winning but fans stay away.  The scary part is someday the Stamps will fall on hard times & when that happens the stadium will be a ghost town. 

This actually is pretty accurate, I got season tickets to the stamps this year after not having them for a while, and the front office was practically on their knees begging me to buy them, throwing in all kinds of discounts and offers for some pretty decent seats. Apparently they are absolutely floored by the number of season tickets not renewed over the off season. They are definitely already beginning to feel the hurt. Not a good sign when they are hosting the cup next year...

 

Personally I think the underlying issue is Calgary is somehow a huge NFL city, and a good chunk of people here consider the CFL bush league compared to the NFL. And until they fix that image in the city it will continue to suffer a bit in this city.
