The sellout marks the third league-wide for the CFL’s historical rivalry games. The Saskatchewan Roughriders have announced a sellout for their own Labour Day Classic, whilst their opponent, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, will have a capacity crowd for the Banjo Bowl rematch.

Despite the announced sellout, a handful of additional tickets have been released for the standing room social section in the endzone.

The Argonauts currently sit atop the East Division with a record of 5-5, while the Tiger-Cats are battling to get back into the playoff picture at 3-8. Toronto currently leads the season series 2-1.
