(Vancouver) The BC Lions Football Club is pleased to announce this morning that tickets to the 102nd Grey Cup Championship slated for Vancouver on November 30th have exceeded the 35,000-sold mark one month from the public on-sale date.

"We have had an outstanding response from BC Lions season ticket holders as well as some very successful pre-sale promotions dating back to our 102-hour blitz following last year's game in Regina," said Jamie Pitblado, GM of the 102nd Grey Cup Festival. "This milestone is a testament to the support of Lions fans across BC and a great example of the excitement and anticipation that's building in advance of Canada's largest sporting event."
