After just six days, only 4,000 tickets remain available for the 106th Grey Cup, Presented by Shaw.
“We are thrilled with the response for tickets that we have seen during these past six days,” said Len Rhodes, President and CEO of the Edmonton Eskimos and Co-Chair of the Grey Cup Festival. “Selling more than 50,000 tickets in short order is a tremendous accomplishment, and we would like to thank our Edmonton Eskimos season seat holders and CFL fans from across the country who have already secured their tickets to the game,” he said.
Tickets went on sale to the general public at 2 p.m. on Friday, June 1. Seating capacity inside The Brick Field at Commonwealth Stadium is 55,819.
“With another five months to go until the game, we are confident the remaining tickets will go quickly,” said Duane Vienneau, Executive Director of the Grey Cup Festival. “A sold-out stadium and the ‘Bring the Heat’ Festival downtown will be a great opportunity for Edmonton and the Capital Region to best showcase itself to the rest of the country this November,” he said.
“Our focus from now until November will be on creating the best possible Grey Cup Festival and fan experience to welcome our out-of-town visitors with, and to make our city proud,” said Brad Sparrow, Co-Chair of the Grey Cup Festival.
The 106th Grey Cup, Presented by Shaw will take place at The Brick Field at Commonwealth Stadium on Sunday, November 25, 2018.
