How much remaining Grey Cup tickets are selling for in Calgary
Football fans hoping to attend the 113th Grey Cup at McMahon Stadium this weekend will have to be prepared to spend a pretty penny.
Excitement is building ahead of the CFL’s biggest annual event on Sunday, Nov. 15. Calgary is hosting the Grey Cup for the first time since 2019, and fans from across the country are expected to visit Alberta’s largest city to take part in the festivities.
For those who haven’t secured their seats yet, Ticketmaster continues to offer both standard-priced tickets and verified resale options. However, there is a considerable difference between the cheapest and most expensive listings, particularly when looking at the resale market.
As of Monday, Nov. 9, the cheapest standard-priced Grey Cup ticket available through Ticketmaster is listed at $343.74. At the other end of the spectrum, the most expensive is going for $543.24.

That means fans looking to purchase directly through the standard ticket inventory can expect to pay anywhere from roughly $344 to $543, depending on their preferred seating location.
The verified resale market offers a similar starting point, but things get considerably more expensive for those looking at top-notch seats.
The cheapest verified resale ticket currently listed on Ticketmaster is $345.10, just $1.36 more than the cheapest standard-priced option.
However, the most expensive listing is priced at a jaw-dropping $2,380.

That is a difference of more than $2,000 between the cheapest and most expensive resale options, highlighting just how much some sellers are hoping to get for their Grey Cup seats.
And while tickets may not sell at those prices, there is certainly a big draw for this match.
Sunday’s game will be between the Edmonton Elks and Montreal Alouettes, who finished the regular season with the two best records in the league. Having the Elks advance to the Grey Cup, their first time doing so since 2015, should help ticket sales tremendously in Calgary.
Given how close the two cities are, there should be plenty of Edmontonians heading south on QE2 to watch their team fight in hopes of winning their 15th Grey Cup.
The Elks do have a tough task, however, as the Alouettes are being favoured by oddsmakers to win it all.
