REGINA- November 24th is still a ways to go, but the 101st Grey Cup game is officially sold out.
The remainder of the tickets were sold out following the 101-hour lottery of approximately 5,000 seats.
“The response from Saskatchewan Roughrider season ticket holders and CFL fans across the country has been amazing,” stated Saskatchewan Roughrider President/CEO Jim Hopson. “Hosting the 101st Grey Cup Championship Game and Festival gives the province an amazing opportunity to showcase Saskatchewan to the entire nation.”
“The fact that the Grey Cup game has sold out months in advance in recent years is a testament to its importance to Canadians, the passion of our fans, and the strength of the modern Canadian Football League,” said Mark Cohon, Commissioner of the CFL.
“Our season, now fully underway, is really the road to the Grey Cup. And we know this year’s journey for CFL teams will culminate with an amazing celebration in a province that truly loves our game and our country and the bond between them.”
“We are thrilled to sell the game out this quickly and are now focusing our attention on making sure this is the greatest Grey Cup Festival the country has ever seen,” stated 101st Grey Cup Festival Executive Director Neil Donnelly.
“The Grey Cup, held in Saskatchewan in 1995 and 2003, have been considered two of the most successful ever and we will look upon the people of Saskatchewan to raise the bar even higher.”
Regina is playing host to the Grey Cup for the third time after hosting the event in 1995 and 2003.
Tickets are still on sale for Grey Cup Festival events that will be taking place throughout the city leading up to the Grey Cup game.
