Fill the Stadium 2010

Join us as we cheer on Redmen Football at the BIGGEST EVER Fill the Stadium game on Friday, September 17^th at 19h00 at the newly renovated Percival Molson Stadium! This year, our goal is to have 6,000 fans watch as the Redmen take on the Concordia Stingers. To make this happen we need your help!

If you are a part of any club, team or group, Fill the Stadium tickets are a great way to fundraise! Groups can purchase tickets for $2 each, and sell them for $4, keeping a $2 profit for themselves, and even better, groups who purchase over 200 tickets only pay $1.50 per ticket, keeping a $2.50 profit. So for example, selling 300 tickets will give your group a $750 profit!

Groups that sell over 200 tickets will also get 10 free passes to the Molson Dry Mega Party in Old Montreal. The party is on September 16^th and consists of 2 floors of ridiculously insane party- $3 beer, sweet DJ’s and prizes. And to top it all off, someone at the party will win a trip to Buenos Aires, Argentina! Contact alyson.mcphee@mcgill.ca for fundraising opportunities.

If you’d rather just buy a Fill the Stadium ticket individually, they can be purchased at the Redbird Sports Shop at the Athletics Complex on 475 Pine ave W.

This is going to be a night you won’t want to miss, starting with the Molson pregame party at 17h00, featuring a BBQ, $2 refreshments, and live music!
