CFL Grey Cup Tickets Sell Out, But Bargain Prices Still Exist Online

Fans have "descended" on Winnipeg for today’s Grey Cup, and while the game "officially became a sellout Friday afternoon, there were still plenty of tickets available online, some at bargain prices." A smattering of the 36,634 tickets for the game at Investors Group Field "were still available via Ticketmaster at noon Friday." Today's forecast "called for temperatures just below freezing at game time" (CP, 11/27).

Meanwhile, CFL Commissioner Jeffrey Orridge "unveiled a new logo, slogan and marketing campaign for the league Friday at his first Grey Cup state-of-the-league address." Orridge's presentation also "included a 90-second video that will run during the television broadcast" of today's game between the Ottawa Redblacks and the Edmonton Eskimos. The move is "aimed at attracting a younger demographic" (CP, 11/27).
