Why Ottawa Redblacks Tickets Move Fast
The Ottawa Redblacks joined the CFL in 2014, bringing professional football back to the capital after the previous Renegades and Rough Riders franchises had folded. The club plays at TD Place Stadium, the rebuilt outdoor bowl inside Lansdowne Park that also hosts Atletéco Ottawa of the Canadian Premier League. Despite being a young franchise, the Redblacks reached three straight Grey Cup Finals from 2015 to 2017 and captured the 2016 championship behind MVP quarterback Henry Burris. The Redblacks wear the classic red, black and white of Ottawa football and revived the big-R logo heritage that dates back to the old Rough Riders. Rivalries with the Montreal Alouettes and Toronto Argonauts define the Eastern Division schedule, and the Lansdowne Park location in the Glebe neighborhood makes game days a walkable experience with restaurants, shops and craft breweries steps from the gates. Ottawa football is back to stay.
How to Find Cheap Ottawa Redblacks Tickets
The cheapest Redblacks tickets typically appear on weeknight non-rivalry games — Mondays and Tuesdays against non-conference opponents move at the steepest discount. Upper-bowl and end-zone seats are 40-70% cheaper than centerline lower-bowl, with comparable views of the action. Check the AllSports listing close to game day too — prices can drop in the final 48 hours when more seats release.
Avoid the markup trap: compare AllSports listings by section, opponent, and game date before you buy. Mid-bowl 200-level seats are the sweet spot for budget-conscious fans — strong sightlines, half the price of premium club seats.

Ottawa Redblacks Rivalries That Move Tickets Fastest
The hottest Redblacks dates on the CFL calendar are the Labour Day Classic, the Banjo Bowl, and West/East Division grinders. Rivalry-game inventory at TD Place Arena routinely clears 60-90 days before the first whistle, with the steepest price jumps on the lower bowl.
