Montreal Alouettes News Release


Montreal, Nov. 20, 2008 - With just over three days before the 96th Grey Cup in Montreal, the organizing committee is pleased to announce that over 60,000 tickets have been sold to the biggest game of the year.

Several good tickets are available in the Bronze category.

Montreal defeated the Edmonton Eskimos in the East Final last Saturday to clinch a berth in the Grey Cup against the Calgary Stampeders, marking the third time in team history the Alouettes will play in the title game at home (1977, 1979).

The Alouettes are 1-1 at home in the Grey Cup, winning the 1977 championship at Olympic Stadium against the Eskimos.

The Village

The original idea of the Grey Cup Village concentrating all the activities in the central area has returned to the location at which it was created in 2001, Place du Canada, located at the corner of Peel and René-Lévesque streets in the heart of downtown Montreal.

All village activities are free - visit www.GreyCupFestival.ca for information.

Call Admission at 1-800-361-4595 or 514-790-1245, or visit the Alouettes' ticket office at 1260 University, 2nd floor (Mon. through Fri., 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.).
