Grey Cup stuff

Some Grey Cup updates:

Game is 98% sold out (btw -  Labour Day classic is 95% sold out if anyone is still looking for tickets). They say that they are not planning to add any temporary seating at this time.

All events for the week are taking place in one location by the Stadium (Evraz Place by the looks of it). So far only one ticketed event is for sale - the Touchdown Manitoba social! Here is the link:

After taxes and extra fees, comes out to $38.50 per ticket. To attend Bomber House (or any other club room) a separate Festival pass will need to be bought ($99 to get access to all houses, general public sales start Sep. 6, individual house admission can be purchased on site during the Festival but not in advance on line). Info on the Spirit of Edmonton breakfast (held on Friday and Saturday morning) should be coming out soon and the Elks Twitter account has mentioned it.

Hotel space is very tight in Regina. In fact, as of June there was only one of twenty-one hotels showing any vacancy on Expedia, and rates were through the roof (around $800/night rather than the usual $125-150). However, the Cup website advises that the League is holding back rooms to determine how many they will need, so the best option is to call all the hotels directly and get on a wait list as they expect rooms to open up closer to the day.

Regina is too small to host a Grey Cup
