Rod Black Posted September 19, 2015 Report Posted September 19, 2015 As a result of the large crowd at IGF on Thursday night, the AC/DC concert, what can the Bombers expect as far as revenue from that event? As much as a Home game? Do the Bombers receive revenue from rental of the facility, concessions, partnerships, and parking? Seemed there was a lot of liquor sales, maybe more than a Bomber game.

I've been told that the Bombers essentially rent out the facility for a set fee to True North for concerts and also get a percentage of the concessions. The average profit for each concert for the Blue Bombers is half a million dollars. That's pure profit. Rod Black, JohnnyOnTheSpot, Harbaugh and 1 other 4
Rod Black Posted September 19, 2015 Author Report Posted September 19, 2015 That's a lot of money! Great for the club.
DR. CFL Posted September 19, 2015 Report Posted September 19, 2015 I would like to know how you come up with a figure of 500k?

LeBird Posted September 19, 2015 Report Posted September 19, 2015 With FIFA, AC/DC, Semi Finals and the Grey Cup we should do OK for this year. I knew Jim Bell was an accountant but did not know Buchko could count. Rod Black 1
Rod Black Posted September 19, 2015 Author Report Posted September 19, 2015 FIFA was many dates. An NHL Winter Classic would have been the icing on the cake this year. The various revenue streams is very helpful for the long term viability of the Blue.
Rod Black Posted September 19, 2015 Author Report Posted September 19, 2015 I'd bet the Pinnacle Club is for rent for a private function.

Well, they need those other streams of cash because the Bombers are not going to be capable of it if they don't start fielding a real CFL team.
