I'll wear my Reggie White Packers jersey.

 

I assume it will be easy to spot Raiders fans as they'll all have machetes.

Oooo thanks for the reminder.  Prob should get a new one & not wear my knockoff Matthews #52.

I expected high prices.  I didn't expect prices that high.  

It was what I expected,TBH.  The Bombers were sure to point out, in their email, that they didn't set the prices:

"Ticket prices, which are determined by On Ice Entertainment, range from $75.00 to $375 CDN."

well for once I have an excuse to watch an NFL game that isn't a superbowl

My regular seats are $340 each for this game.    I just don't see the value here.  It's a preseason game.  I'm going to pass on this.   I hope it works and they fill the place and make lots of money.  Best case scenario is they fill it with Americans who come up, spend a pile of money, and then leave. 

 

Bought a couple upper deck corner tickets.....impulse buy

Just saw the ticket prices. Hard pass for me at those prices.

To elaborate, I pay less for P3 Jets tickets than the P9 price for the NFL game.

Not sure I'm reading it correctly but is it $280 to sit in the endzone? Those tickets are about $36 a game with ST and even for Grey Cup were $199. Way to high of a price.

Got mine!

I just can't do it at these prices. Was going to take my oldest but I would rather save the money and make a trip out of it to Minneapolis to see a regular season game and, hopefully, a Twins game. Or, maybe later in the season to see a Timberwolves or Wild game.  

Hey if you guys want, I can give you the NFL experience for half that price.  Good seats for $150 and I'll only charge 8.00 for a beer.  I need to paint the living room again anyways so...

Sure thing!  Do you want the center of the couch or an arm?

Wait a minute... Do you not have lazyboy recliner seats? I'm not sharing a couch with no one for $150!

Dang, this event management stuff is harder than I thought

Are these prices any higher than a Jets playoff game?  Free is better than expensive but this doesn't seem out of the range of what events like this usually cost.

Playoffs vs. exhibition, though.

People paying this price are going to be sore when the Packers opt not to dress Aaron Rodgers.

The excuse I heard from TSN morning show guys said they heard from NFL that the prices are higher due to the fact that IG Field doesn't hold as many people so they need to charge more to get the same result as they would in a higher capacity stadium. Like the guys on the radio said, it is what it is. either pay the prices or stay at home.

Agree. Going down for a Vikes game you get to really experience the atmosphere, which you won't get here. And yeah it's great to turn it into a multi-game affair.  

Wonder if the Rum Hut standing zone will be open? I could see a lot of people buying the $75 seats and opting to stand the whole game rather than spend almost $300 just to get any seat in the lower bowl.

I can't go.... Knee replacement. Would have been great.

Bombers did not set the prices for the game either.

 

$300 a ticket to watch Nathan Peterman... no thanks.
