After charging people 300 dollars for decent seats in Winnipeg for a Packers Raiders 3rd preseason game where literally no starters played, they cut the field down to 80 yards. Why? Because the position of the removed field goals would have left a spliced in portion roughly a 4 square foot area on both ends of the field. Yet the NFL has played how many games on dirt infield during baseball season. Couldn't they have just filled to square with dirt and said it was Oakland. The NFL is reaching new lows.
 
Each to his or her own I guess. Personally I think you’d have to have a screw loose to pay that kind of money for a bullshit one off exhibition game.

Agree the pricing on these games is nuts.
The start of a new concept league like the Big3 in basketball. One QB, RB,WR vs.one DL,LB,DB on a shortened football field founded by JayZ , commissioner Terrell Owens

It varies from province to province and depends a lot on what else is in the area for entertainment.
As an eg. my tickets to the Steelers vs Ravens Oct 6th were about $180 US in section 532 each on Stubhub not likely to find anything under $100 US in the stadium seating
A Toronto Argonauts game $108 US box seats on the 50 yard line field level on Stubhub whereas you can probably still get tickets from the ticket office or other seating for much , much less
Now Leafs tickets or Raptors tickets availability and price are a lot, lot higher and more difficult to land.
My Pens tickets were only $70 each on stubhub good seats too
Ask Sask about tickets in his area, but I think they get a better following because there are no other sports teams to compete with in their area. More of a US college feel in the smaller market CFL I would suggest. You will always have die hard fans for every team but the larger areas like Toronto have a lot of band wagon fans that only show up if they are going to the Grey Cup.
I go to more OHL hockey games than pro because the talent is very good in my area and I have quite a few teams that I could go see in less than an hours travel.
I go and watch travel football games (teenagers) because the Cambridge Lions play less than a block from my house and they play 4 down football not 3 down CFL. Costs nothing to see them and they usually put together a decent team that plays others across the province of Ontario.

CFL tickets are generally in the 60-80 dollar range. The story going around is the NFL ok'd the field goal post patch and then a Packers assistant stomped on it till it broke and they had to make it the 80 yard field. The Packers frontline players were never gonna play anyway. Neither most of the Raiders. ****** debacle.

Paul is right about the college town fever of the Roughriders. Despite the fact that only 1 million people live in Saskatchewan they are ranked third in Canada behind the Canadiens and Leafs for merchandise sales. That includes the other NHL teams, the Raptors and the Blue Jay's.
