ROUGHRIDERS ANNOUNCE 2023 TICKET PRICING, LAUNCH SEASON TICKET RENEWALS
The Saskatchewan Roughriders are pleased to announce new ticket pricing in Mosaic Stadium for the 2023 season.
The Club is reducing ticket prices on roughly 2,700 seats, adding additional eligible sections for the popular Family Ticket Packages, and freezing the 2022 prices on the balance of seats.
“Our family ticket packages have been incredibly successful this season and we have received a lot of positive feedback from Rider Nation about how we’ve made games more affordable and fun for families,” said Chief Brand Officer Anthony Partipilo. “We know with inflation and the price of gas, the financial demands on Rider Nation are greater than ever, and we hope these changes will continue to make Mosaic Stadium accessible for more people to take in our Green and White.”
Roughrider Season Ticket Holders and MVP Plan members will begin receiving renewal emails this week. The Club is launching two months earlier than normal to allow purchasers to save the new six (6%) percent PST increase going into effect on October 1st.
For Roughrider families who love our $99 single game family packages, the Club will also launch new Family Season Ticket Packages. A family of four (two adults and two children) can attend every home game of the 2023 Season starting at $1089.
Fans who wish to become new season ticket holders before the PST increase will be able to begin purchasing season tickets on August 17th.
