The Banjo Bowl on Sept. 9 is a sell-out but now the Winnipeg Blue Bombers are giving 300 more people a chance to catch the game.
300 standing room only tickets will be made available starting at 12 p.m. to see the Bombers take on league rivals, the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
Tickets can be bought for $54.50 at the Bomber Store or by calling 1-204-784-7448. The tickets will give fans access to the pre-game tailgate area at 11:30 a.m. game day and viewing decks through the concourse.
Fans made their excitement for the Blue and Gold’s positive season clear by making this year’s Banjo Bowl the earliest ticket sell out since their move into the IGF in 2013.

“It’s good that we’re sort of paying them back for all their support over the last few years that’s for sure,” Head coach Mike O’Shea said Wednesday.
The annual series started in 2004 and is almost evenly split with the Bombers ahead of the Roughriders at 7-6.
Kick off for the rivalry game is at 3 p.m.
