Rod Black Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 As a result of the large crowd at IGF on Thursday night, the AC/DC concert, what can the Bombers expect as far as revenue from that event? As much as a Home game? Do the Bombers receive revenue from rental of the facility, concessions, partnerships, and parking? Seemed there was a lot of liquor sales, maybe more than a Bomber game.

I've been told that the Bombers essentially rent out the facility for a set fee to True North for concerts and also get a percentage of the concessions. The average profit for each concert for the Blue Bombers is half a million dollars. That's pure profit. rebusrankin, Rod Black, JohnnyOnTheSpot and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeBird Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 With FIFA, AC/DC, Semi Finals and the Grey Cup we should do OK for this year. I knew Jim Bell was an accountant but did not know Buchko could count. Rod Black 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Black Posted September 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 FIFA was many dates. An NHL Winter Classic would have been the icing on the cake this year. The various revenue streams is very helpful for the long term viability of the Blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Black Posted September 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 I'd bet the Pinnacle Club is for rent for a private function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they need those other streams of cash because the Bombers are not going to be capable of it if they don't start fielding a real CFL team.
