need advice from season ticket holders

I appreciate the advice of the two season ticket holders that took by very quick poll so far. Would love to increase the sample size. Please take my poll if you are a season ticket holder!

My opinion would be it is a huge waste of money....but if you are in the plus 65k per year crowd it probably does not bother you.

Thanks for the comment. I have waited 35 years for them so the decision as to whether to buy them is an easy one. My poll is about how many, not whether, to buy.

Congratulations on your fortune to have opportunity for season tix. Your questions are like: Am I going to get laid by one hotty or two? Nice problem to have.

Well.... if he goes with 4 tickets, and properly leverages that second pair, there's no reason he can't get laid by two.

I'm sure Mrs. Shiv K thinks that's a nice problem to have.

Good point! Best comment ever...

Not a fan of someone purchasing tickets just so they can resell them. But it is your perogative. Enjoy the games.

go in with a group, recruit your ticket needing friends ahead of time, save you the hassle, worry, and Green and Gold can fill the stands.

You have Friends, don't you?

Perhaps he should check with Beef for advice.

Thanks for the advice everybody. Four tickets it is!

This would be my advice if you can do it that way.

I voted negatively for each question. The less you buy the faster I move up the list.

With you being out of state it will be more difficult to sell tix, unless you use a broker or still have lots of relatives/friends in WI who will buy them. But do you want to jack up the cost on tix to friends/relatives?

With a broker you dont know who is going to end up in your seats, they could be fans for the opposing team, is that what you want to possibly happen? Plus, if you dont know who is getting your tix your more vulnerable to some jerks getting them and getting in trouble at the stadium, putting your season tix in jeapordy. All it takes as I understand it is two major incidents and you lose your tix, for things like peeing in the bathroom sinks, smoking in the concourse, fighting, being too drunk and causing a scene etc, etc. Each game a number of people get tossed or arrested.

From my experience having 2 season tix, and I also only attend usually 1 game a year, I only sell at face value to relatives and friends, people I know that wont cause any trouble at the game. Plus I know they will be loudly cheering on the Pack instead of the opposition.

The hardest tix to sell are always the preseason game, good luck even getting face value for them. In my case I usually package the preseason game with the buyers first choice of the regular season game he wants to go to. After that then other relatives/friends get to take whats left after I decide what game I'm going to. IOW, buy the preseason tix and you get 1st choice of any regular season game you want.

Other harder to sell games are late season games right near or on a xmas holiday, and Monday or Thursday night games, because lots of folks wont or cant attend due to work or other family obligations. But they can still be sold, it just takes a bit more rooting around to find the right person.

Cant remember which broker but there is one or two that will guarantee if the tix holder gets in trouble it wont reflect back on you. But I think in that case the tix are sold at face value, could be wrong on that though. There will be info on that/those options when you get your tix and other stuff in the mail from the Packers.

Hope that helps, again as to me, I dont care about recouping the cost of the PSL, its an investment I'll get back (or my heirs) after I'm no longer around or decide to sell out. In the meantime I get to go to some games and spread the wealth amongst family/friends at face value to help keep good will and insure only Pack fans use my tix.

I threw in my 2¢ and congrats on getting the tickets!!!

Thank you everyone. I went 4 tickets. I will have to sell my tickets most of the time unfortunately. Live too far from GB and often work on weekends.

I wish I didn't have to worry about the behavior of the people that buy them. However, I will put my tickets at risk if I sell to anyone. Therefore, unless it is someone I know well,I'm selling via the Packers endorsed routes of NFL Ticket Exchange and Packers Fan Tours. Unfortunately, that may mean that opponents' fans might buy them too. Would appreciate any other ideas anyone has to offer to keep that from happening.

Sell them for face value to people on this forum.

Perfect.

What possibly could go rong?

On the bright side, I wouldn't have to sit next to Blair Kiel.

On a slightly different topic I ran the Cellcom half marathon this morning and you get a chance to circle the field. I have to admit, the new sections in the south endzone are stunning. It really adds a neat element to the stadium.
