Posted on Nov. 13: Some tickets give wrong start-time for Marauder’s football game

Another overflow crowd of 7,000 plus is expected back at McMaster University's Les Prince Field on Saturday as the Ontario university champion McMaster Marauders face Atlantic conference winners Saint Mary's Huskies in the Churchill Bowl.

Tickets, which went on sale Monday, are selling briskly, leaving McMaster officials expecting another wall-to-wall crowd. One glitch, however, could result in a late crowd. Tickets sold at McMaster erroneously list game time at 1 p.m., one hour later than the actual kickoff. The game will be broadcast live on radio station CFMU 93.3 and nationally by TSN.

“It's going to be packed,” confirmed Robert Hilson, manager of marketing and communications for the Mac athletics department. “Ticketmaster called today and said they needed another block of tickets.

“Our student numbers should go up. People went last week and had a good time and told two of their friends,” he said, referring to the 7,000 plus crowd that watched McMaster win the Ontario championship over the Queen's Golden Gaels last Saturday.
