CALGARY -- The Calgary Stampeders president/COO Lyle Bauer is pleased to announce the club has surpassed 20,000 season tickets sold for the Stamps 2010 season at McMahon Stadium.

“Surpassing the 20,000-season ticket mark is quite an accomplishment this early in the year,” said Bauer. “With the exception of the Grey Cup year, these levels are well over two months ahead of prior years’ levels at this time.”

Purchasing Stamps season tickets will ensure priority on buying the best available seats for the 2010 Grey Cup game in Edmonton prior to public sale.

In addition, season-ticket holders are guaranteed seats for all 2010 home games at a savings of up to 50 per cent compared to individual game-ticket prices and the option to purchase the same seats for home playoff games.

“I believe this is a strong sign of support of our fans in the direction of our club, specifically their support for John Hufnagel and the optimism for a great season for the Red and White,” said Bauer. “It may also be a subtle sign that the economy for some is returning to normal levels and we appreciate our fans returning for the 50th Anniversary of McMahon Stadium and the 65th Anniversary of the Calgary Stampeders for the 2010 CFL Season”

Fans are encouraged to get their seats today and, beginning Mar.1, current season-ticket holders will have an opportunity to call the Stampeders’ Ticket Office and upgrade to seats that were not renewed from the 2009 season.
