VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – The 99th Grey Cup game in Vancouver on Nov. 27 is quickly approaching a sellout.

BC Lions president Dennis Skulsky tells News 1130 Sports that just over 2,500 tickets remain unsold for the game at BC Place.

When the game was held in Vancouver back in 2005, it did not sell out until early October.

BC Place officials are also providing Skulsky and Lions coach and general manager Wally Buono with a tour and construction update at BC Place Tuesday. The plan is to have the Lions’ home game with Edmonton on September 30th as the first sporting event at the newly-renovated stadium.
