Me too. But I would be driving alone with a nine year-old. Great kid but a lousy driver. He's all over the road and I can never get any sleep.

Stamps and rider fans are dumping their tickets. I’ve already got half a dozen texts from stamps and rider fans begging me to buy their tickets. But I’m going to enjoy it at home in front of the firep

The sad reality is that flights between winnipeg and calgary have been getting stupidly expensive for a while now. It really is much much cheaper to drive. If you push it you can do calgary to winnipeg in 12 hours, it's not the worst thing in the world so it makes more sense than flying to me. Unless of course you need to save the time. 

The only thing worse than driving across Sask. is stopping in Sask..

OK, got the wife's nod (not a happy one) that I can go to the cup!  Stipulation is I have to take my 6y.o. son AND I have to be back before our 10 year wedding anniversary day is over... what an idiot I was getting married around grey cup dates!  Wasn't thinking at all.

Not sure if doing the drive or fly.  Like everyone else, seeing obscene flight prices with very few good dates/times that work for me anyhow.  I'll figure something out.

My big question is on tickets: I'm one to buy them last second before I leave the hotel on stubhub to snag a deal, or at worst try to find scalpers at the stadium.  Has anyone tracked stubhub on grey cup days before to see how it behaves?  The very last thing I want is to get there and the ticketmasters have been all given away to the military and stubhub is sold out or $1k a ticket.  Does anyone know when they do the final free giveaway to claim "sold out"?  Not many tickets left on TM as it is.

Does anyone who lives in CGY have any info on where to find the scalpers at McMahon and whether it's a "thing" there?

Also, on Monday stubhub had a ton of "UPS delievered" tickets, some at good prices, but they all disappeared Tuesday.  So I guess after physical delivery is impossible due to time constraints all those tickets just drop off the face of the earth?  No way for those physical holders to electronic-alize their tickets into "mobile transfer" ones?

If any of you are in CGY and knows someone local stuck with 2 physical tickets and wants to sell them cheap, let me know in PM asap.  Need something between the 20's, don't care how high up.  Need 'em cheap and if I fly I'll need downtown hotel dropoff.

P.S. So freakin' proud of my Bombers!!  Going absolutely mental here.

The scalpers usually all hang out at the edge of the walkover ridge that crosses Crowchild Trail on the East Side of McMahon stadium.

I think they made a song about that, with those exact lyrics.

What's the best site to purchase tickets online?   I have my flight booked and hotel at the Comfort Inn across the street from the stadium....need a decent seat preferably behind our bench which I assume is the home bench?

I'd go with StubHub. Just keep in mind that prices are in USD....

you won't find anything behind the bench on Ticketmaster.... I believe everything between the 20's is "sold out".  Facebook marketplace is where a few buddies have found decent deals.  StubHub, from what I've read from others on here, will have improving deals as gameday gets closer.  Doesn't seem like it's going to be a sell out!

I have a contact at the Stamps office if you're serious and looking to buy right away!

Reading this thread, I feel like a sucker for paying full price legitimately through ticketmaster for nosebleed seats, what can I say, I don't trust resale sights.

C'est la vie - doesn't matter where in the stands long as they get it done and the beer is cold I am more than happy.

you're not a sucker. you're a true blue bomber fan  getting ready to be at the game when we hoist the cup!

Got a call from Stub Hub last nite advising me that the tickets were paper tickets.....I'm leaving early Saturday morning so they couldn't be physically shipped to me in time.    They assured me they are going to find be an equivalent substitute ticket as there were some available in row 29 or 13 section F.   I'm waiting for a call back this morning and hoping they can fix their screw up because the tickets were supposed to be downloadable to my phone or tablet.    Just hoping I get a similar seat.....🤞
