The CFL Players’ Association is thrilled to announce an exciting line-up for our upcoming Pro Players’ Party Series at Grey Cup in Vancouver. We are making Ceili’s Irish Pub, located at 670 Smithe Street, Vancouver, our Official CFLPA Headquarters during Grey Cup week in Vancouver, British Columbia.
“This year we’ve tried to put together more Fan/Player interactive based events. We established our first party in Toronto in 2007 and 5 years later our events have some of the most successful events during Grey Cup week. Fans will be able to meet and socialize with many of our Players in addition to enjoying a great evening of music and special giveaways.” Said CFLPA Director of Marketing Mike Morreale.
To kick things off Pro Players’ style, on Thursday, November 24th from 2pm – 4pm we will be holding a media press conference to introduce the Players in town and announce a special giveaway we will be running during the week. Friday November 25th and Saturday November 26th from 2pm – 5pm come back to Ceili’s and meet some of your favourite Players, get some autographs, photos and enter for a chance to win something awesome.
This year’s Players Anthem 2011 will be hosted by The Score’s Tim Micallef and held at Ceili’s Irish Pub, located at 670 Smithe Street, Vancouver, BC with doors opening to ticket holders at 9:00pm. Tickets are $50 and are available through ticketweb.ca. Prices do not include taxes and service charges.
Come out and meet your favourite current CFL players, All-Stars, Nominees, Award winners, Alumni, CFLPA executives, celebrities and Grey Cup entertainers on the red carpet before the party begins. Check out the live band, DJ and find out who will be going to Barbados with us next May.
“We are encouraging our hard core CFL Grey Cup fans to log on and purchase tickets early to avoid disappointment to ensure they can join us over Grey Cup weekend at our events. This is a great chance for the Fans to get out there, have a fantastic time and party with their favourite Players.” said Morreale.
