OTTAWA – The Ottawa REDBLACKS of the Canadian Football League today announced its home opener on July 18against the Toronto Argonauts is sold out. A limited number of tickets for opening night are being held back for fans who wish to purchase season ticket packages but all other seats (with the exception of singles and obstructed view) for the return of the CFL to Ottawa at the new TD Place are gone.
“Selling-out with a month to go before the home opener is an incredible statement of support for the REDBLACKS and TD Place,” said Jeff Hunt, President of the REDBLACKS’ parent company, Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group. “You can feel a buzz of excitement in the city and it’s only going to amp-up as we get closer to opening night. I’m ecstatic about the sell-out and thankful to the CFL fans in Ottawa and Gatineau for their enthusiasm and support.”
The REDBLACKS launched the team’s inaugural season ticket campaign last December and have sold over 16,000 season passes to date. In April, the team made opening-night tickets available as part of a three-game package and then in May, fans were offered an opening-weekend package for tickets to the REDBLACKS’ opener on the June 18 and the Ottawa Fury FC (North American Soccer League) opener at TD Place on Sunday, June 20. Response to those campaigns and ongoing demand for season tickets has pushed advance sales for the REDBLACKS to a sell-out.
Tickets for other REDBLACKS’ home games at TD Place (games 2-9) are also moving quickly but great seats are available. Fans are advised to visit the REDBLACKS website to check the team’s schedule and reserve their seats. Fans interested in season tickets are advised to contact the REDBLACKS ticket office by phone at 613-232-6767 or to visit the TD Place Stadium Preview Centre at 2016 Ogilvie Road, east of Blair Road.
