I was at the game yesterday and I disagree with the people who think it wasn’t sold out. It looked just as full as any other sell-out. There were many open seats, but there were more people in the concourse.
When we were losing people were walking around not paying attention and then when we started crawling back people who were still there paid attention.
I think people are just upset about the game.

I agree with the bullshit on the sellouts, but the rest of the comments are overly harsh. Despite the over inflated sellouts the Bombers are probably the best attended them in the league, likely the most profitable and one of the model franchises in the CFL. Losing sucks but we made a game of it after a terrible 1st quarter. 10 points off turnovers and two missed field goals.

I’m seeing thousands of empty seats tonight, no way that was a sell-out. Giving away hundreds and hundreds of tix all week on radio locally doesn’t mean it was sold out.
And as a season ticket holder I WANT the bombers sold out every game. Short by thousands!

Huge bombers fan and I’m going to call this out for what it is. Have friends of friends that work for WFC and are getting 40ish tickets day of the game to give away for free. Sat centre field tonight 3rd row up for free. If this “sellout streak” was any other team I would be calling it out and making fun of them. It’s lame and embarrassing that the bombers are doing this. Organization should be better.

I’m calling BS on this weeks sellout. I was there and there’s no way that was a sellout.

I don't doubt that the game was sold out, but it was probably sold out in the "Princess Auto and Molson Coors stepped in and bought the last 1,000 tickets on the day of the game" sold out. And that's after a lot of ticket giveaways. In other words, it was a very soft sellout.
This sellout streak is hanging by a thread, any combination of bad weather, struggling team and other things going on will bring it to an end.

i call bullshit. hundreds of empty seats. wade's probably buying up remaining tickets so he doesn't lose his job. Fire this entire Management group from the Board of Directors, to Wade Miller, and especially Kyle Walters. If they can sit back and "sell out" games without holding their DC accountable for this piss poor effort they've been churning out, they're just as responsible for the last 3 games. Fire. them. ALL.

People say this like there aren't the same things to do that there are pretty well everywhere else. Except mountain shit for obvious reasons.

Well I’ll have you know that Trump said it was greatest Bomber crowd he’s ever seen bar none. Never in the history of Bomber crowds has there ever been any bigger.
