Packers Announce Sell out for Sunday's game

One because we backed into the playoffs, two because our recent success against the Niners has been gawd awful an three its gonna be a high if ten degrees on sunday so im sure peoples train of thought it they're not gonna waste their money in that kind of weather to watch them lose....so much for loyalty I guess

How many Packer fans are in Florida for the Badger game?

They'll probably get an extension to sell the remaining tix. In the event it does not sell out I wonder if the Pack would buy up the remainder at 34 cents on the dollar, as they are allowed to do, to insure it wont be blacked out? Otherwise, if it gets blacked out I believe that includes Milwaukee. Sure gonna be a lot of squawking from the Milw area and GB if it gets blacked out. I get MAdison TV so should be OK where I live, and I cant afford to go either.

 

Going forward, with the recent expansion of 7,000 extra seats to a capacity of over 80,000 (non-premium seats) it may be harder to sell out playoff games, especially with the very cold and or snowy weather in January. Sell outs for the regular season are guaranteed, but playoffs may be a harder sell, especially if the general concensus is they are not going far in the playoffs anyway, which many people around here believe this year.

I am.

Calm down...

 

@WBAY

I just did my part.  I hate the drive home... the cold is gonna suck... and the Niners own us as of late.  But I'll be there.  GO PACK GO!

So that now makes it 8,498 available.  Come on you bunch of sissies!!! Don't you live in Milwaukee Boi?  Get some!

        But we know you're not going to the Packer game because for you anything below 70 is frigid.

How is beating the Bears in Chicago for the NFCN Title backing into the playoffs?

And now the Badgers are 10 pts behind with 11 minutes to go......... and check that ......Badgers just ran one back for a TD.    Go Badgers Go.

Bangers. 

 Dang it can't type on new tablet. 

 

As a public service announcement, Silverstein has been tweeting about areas which would or would not be affected by a black out.

 

@TomSilverstein: If #Packers-#49ers is blacked out, Green Bay, Milwaukee, Wausau would be affected. Madison, La Crosse, Eau Claire, e.g., wouldn't.

 

@TomSilverstein: #Packers have until 3:40 p.m. Thursday to sell out to avoid a blackout. NFL does grant extensions.

 

@TomSilverstein: You're good. RT @jstanly11: @TomSilverstein upper peninsula?

 

@TomSilverstein: Blackout. RT @jrpros: @TomSilverstein how about Appleton

 

@TomSilverstein: Incidentally, if you buy #Packers tickets from TM, you must print them out. There will be no will call pickup.

And another 1000 sold. Down to less then 7500.

 

 

@KCousineau09

I'll bet it's Roehl or Schneider Transport.

that blackout rule needs to go. 

Just happy F A N S will be in their home stadium.  Yikes.  Pretty sad a corporation HAS to buy the remaining tickets.  Ugh.  

Well, no one is saying that sponsors WILL but them right now.. Packers still have time and tickets can still be sold.

 

Let's not forget GB fans didn't even know there was going to be a playoff game until Sunday night. And this team was all but dead in the water a few weeks ago.

 

They made a decent dent today. Let's see how close they get before plan B of sponsor buying occurs.

What day is it?  Wednesday? You're saying Green Bay Packer fans didn't realize the Packers won?????  You're kidding right??  Believe it, ALL Packer

fans knew they won          

I just did a twitter search for this bernie guy but nothing was found.  Wonder if there is another source on this?

That tweet from Kyle has been deleted.

 

 

There is no just thing of a Packer blackout.  Ahh...Right?

I remember the Ice Bowl was blacked out in Green Bay. I had the radio on and was pacing back and forth like a caged lion.

I can remember driving to Beloit with the family on Packer gamedays in the late 60's & early 70's from Kenosha to watch the games on channel 3. Never imagined this situation would occur again with the List. We would drive a ways to watch GBP on little black and white TV's that had bad reception right when something happened.

Back then home games were always blacked out whether or not it was a sell out.

 

My guess is the weather forecast has a lot to do with it.  Yea, we live in this **** but it still sucks.  The latest forecast I saw was a high of 0 and I expect it to get worse at we move closer to Sunday.  

Read in a snippet that tickets are down to 4,000 with seven hours left. Expect an extension from the NFL.

I am driving up to Appleton game day to take my daughter back to Lawrence University.  I am thinking of taking the short drive up to Green Bay to go the game before I head back home to beautiful Chicago.

I saw the NFL gave Indy an extension for it's Sat. game. They should do the same for GB if needed.

...before I head back home to beautiful Chicago.

 

the last two words of your post don't make any sense used together. 

5500 as of 10 AM CST.

 

High of 4 degrees...nice work NFL...coulda put it on Saturday when it was 30. Morans.

Emo Phillips:

" I'm from Downers Grove, Illinois. We had a blackout there the other day, but fortunately the police made him get back into his car ..."

FTFY

If your tickets are in the new, upper section take a big/long blanket and tent the radiated heat from the heated concrete.

No such luck... north endzone. 

The Packers should buy-up the remaining tickets. Take it out of Thompson's and McCarthy's salaries.

TT has enough just stuffed in his chair from all the bonuses he gets for not spending the salary cap.
