- The entire Club Level is SOLD OUT.
- Both the upper and lower levels of the Coors Light Patio in the north end zone are SOLD OUT.

All available season seats in the platinum, red and green sections are SOLD OUT. While limited tickets are available at other price points, fan s can secure their season seats for the Inaugural Season at Tim Hortons Field for as low as $240.
“We’re very encouraged by our sales to date — fans are clearly excited to be a part of the Inaugural Season at Tim Hortons Field,” said President and Chief Operating Officer Glenn Gibson. “We have sold out of 11 of 15 price points and expect to sell close to 5,000 new season seats by the end of June. We plan on capping season seat sales at just over 16,000 and clearly we are on the verge of achieving that goal.”
Gibson continued, “While some great seating options are still available, we don’t expect them to be on the market for long. Fans who wish to guarantee their spot at Tim Hortons Field should purchase their seats immediately.”

LEGACY WALL TO COMMEMORATE INAUGURAL SEASON
To show gratitude for the overwhelming support demonstrated by season seat holders and corporate partners, the Ticats have commissioned the creation of a Legacy Wall to commemorate the Inaugural Season at Tim Hortons Field. The Legacy Wall will feature the names of all season seat account holders who are a part of this historic first season.
Fans that purchase their season seats by June 30, 2014 will have the opportunity to have their name etched on the Legacy Wall, which will be unveiled prior to the final home game of the season.
Additional information about the Legacy Wall can be found here.
