Canadian CFL Fans Live Locally During the Grey Cup

Share |

The Grey Cup is quickly approaching in Canada and travelers are looking to save on accommodation. Short term rentals are a great alternative for accommodation to avoid over priced hotels during large scale events.

Toronto (I-Newswire) November 2, 2011 - Toronto, ON– Vancouver is the host city for the 99th Grey Cup this year. The Grey Cup is one of the largest sporting events in Canada. According to the CFL, tickets sold out in record time this year, “The sell out, occurring only 30 days since tickets went on public sale, surpassed the previous mark for a Vancouver Grey Cup that was set on Oct. 7, 2005.” This means that over 50,000 cheering fans will be in Vancouver over the weekend.
Such large-scale events often drive hotel prices to skyrocket and rooms to sell out and overbook. A great way to avoid inflated prices and stick to a budget is to live like a local. iStopOver.com, the short term accommodation website offers travelers the chance to rent a private room in a home, apartment, condominium or entire house. Travelers can rent on a nightly or weekly basis, depending on their needs.
Renting a room in someone’s house lends itself to more cost-effective benefits such as having access to a kitchen, which can save money on food. Finding accommodation that is close to BC Place can save on transportation. Hosts can also offer tips on what other things there are to see and do in Vancouver.
iStopOver also wants to ensure that there is extra beer money in your pocket – so using the discount code GREYCUP saves 60% off of the service fee.
“We always see great demand for accommodation surrounding nation-wide events and with so many Canadians traveling for the Grey Cup, our Vancouver Hosts are more than ready to host CFL fans,” said iStopOver CEO, Anthony Lipschitz. iStopOver is a leader in event based accommodation, having seen great success with the World Cup of Soccer in South Africa, the Superbowl, and the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand.
