Hamilton, Ontario - The Hamilton Tiger-Cats announced today that over 27,500 tickets have been sold for this Monday's Labour Day Classic and the team is expecting a sold-out crowd of 29,600 for the annual clash between the Ticats and the Toronto Argonauts.
"The organization is very pleased with the enthusiasm our fans have shown for this game as we're anticipating that Ivor Wynne will be sold out on Monday," said President Scott Mitchell. "The response from our fans this season has been tremendous and our recent ticket sales and TV numbers confirm that."
The Ticats television ratings are among the league's best as Hamilton has averaged 413,500 viewers for all home games and has participated in TSN's two most-watched games this season, drawing 526,000 viewers for their home game against B.C. on July 31 and 515,000 viewers for their away game in Saskatchewan on August 16. Last year's Labour Day Classic between the Ticats and the Argos was the most watched regular season game of the year.
Only Gold and Silver level tickets remain for Monday's game. The last time the Tiger-Cats sold out Ivor Wynne Stadium was on September 5, 2005
