^ Aren't the expansion seats at Mosaic Stadium (the ones installed this year, specifically for the Grey Cup) rented? If so, it may not pay to keep them beyond 2013. This season is a perfect storm of an amazing team and the Grey Cup being played in Regina so it made sense to open them up during the regular season. But considering that those seats are selling for a relatively low amount (somewhere between $25 and $30), I'm not sure it would be cost effective to keep them up beyond this season.
33,000 is still a huge number for a city of Regina's size. In terms of proportion of population attending games, it would be like, what, 750,000 people attending a football game in Toronto? It probably makes sense to go in the direction of creating at least some level of scarcity, so as to provide some incentive to pony up for season tickets.
