Tickets distributed and tickets scanned can be two very different things. None of the Ontario CanPL clubs are likely to have an issue on a 25% capacity limit for league games if actual crowds are similar to 2019 levels. Ditto Winnipeg and Edmonton. Halifax would definitely be a major problem on that type of restriction though, while Calgary and Langford crowds would usually be problematic on weekends but might get away with it on weeknights.

I know TFC's announced attendance is scans, with over 20,000 season tickets, they have announced crowds for some cup matches far below that. Not sure what CPL does?

m-g-williams Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) Beat me to it! I wonder if they'll split the revenue eight ways? And I imagine this means no more projected ads on the stands?

Cheeta Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Have to be fully vaxed, but no mask mandate. Season pass holders the priority but you'll be paying for your tickets as The Kickoff fixtures were refunded as it was expecting they wouldn't be public events. Getting my 2nd jab end of the week so missing out a bit, but still. It's something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aird25 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Well that's certainly promising, and it should liven up the games. Hopefully that total isn't representative of what percentage of total capacity other teams will be allowed though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the linked article mentions that they could increase capacity from the initial 6% in Winnipeg. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDNFootballer Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) BC to allow 10% fan attendance for Olympic basketball qualifiers for games starting July 1st. Hopefully not a sign of things to come with Step 3 for BC starting July 1st for Pacific FC. Should be a higher percentage, at least 25%, for outdoor stadiums imo. Apparently no discriminating as to vaccinated/un-vaccinated fans allowed in. Masks mandatory except for eating/drinking or if you have an excemption. Team Canada to get boost from fans in stands at Olympic men’s basketball qualifier in Victoria If the Canadian men’s basketball team is going to make it to the Olympics, they will do so with an assist from the hometown crowd. Just days before the Olympic men’s basketball qualifier tournament is set to start at Victoria Memorial Arena, B.C. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry has approved an exemption to the province’s capacity limits.

Unnamed Trialist Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 So with the confident Valour win I wondered if playing at home was a factor. Now, if they are going to see fans which will mostly if not all be supporting them, will that also give them a bit of an edge? Another interesting question: will that limit of fans be also met for matches not featuring Valour? Will they try to do some deal to get fans to watch matches when the home team is not playing? I mean, I'd go see any CPL team, and maybe many here would say the same. But not sure if there are that many footie fans in Winnipeg for a Pacific-HFX match.

I'd be surprised if the non-Valour matches get anywhere close to the 2000 allowed, but maybe there are enough people itching to watch live sports again in this city. I'd imagine the match days are being sold as doubleheaders, which might fill the seats a bit for a few of the games. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeta Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Pretty small % of Winnipeg qualify for admission just yet, by the end of July it'll be much higher so we'll have to wait and see. Not sure pushing the doubles will achieve a bunch with attendance, Maybe if Valour are the late match, but doubt it. What will help attendance is a good start by Valour and it's very possible that will happen. Also expect to see the admission limit increase rapidly if patterns hold.

I think the double-vaxxed percentage for Manitoba as of June 23rd (so + 2 weeks by July 7) was about 30% (higher in Winnipeg, lower outside). I wouldn't call that pretty small, exactly. That said, the double-vaxxed numbers skew older than the Valour fanbase. Few kids would be likely to attend the early matches and no under 12s would be able to attend at all.

Watchmen Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Vancouver appears to have been cleared for 50% capacity at events soon. I would assume the same would be applied for Pacific. Kent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
