Packers Raise Ticket Prices

quote:

Murphy says the revenue is important to keeping the Packers competitive in the league.

well if that's the case then make all tickets $200 apiece and we'll never lose another game, right?

Sounds good to me.

I guess I dumped my $97 tickets just in time. Instead I'll be paying $89 for an actual seat with easy access to concessions and bathrooms.

Suck it bleacher bums.

report back to me after a Nov or Dec night game with gusty snowy wind.

Never happy to see my prices go up, but I try to view it from a supply-and-demand perspective. If John Q. Fan can't get in for under $125 a pop on the secondary market, why shouldn't the team be getting closer to that?

But at the rate price increases have outpaced the resale market, I suppose it's only a matter of time before that gap is more or less closed. Just wait until dynamic pricing is the norm.

Big deal, $2 a ticket.

What about those poor soles who have like 285 tickets? How are they supposed to come up with that extra money to pay the invoice?

Yep, and a drainage system to rout all the melt-off down to the lower concourse's Miller Lite beer taps.

I've considered the headwind you might get facing pretty much due north, but the 4th row in the 600 level isn't really that much higher up than the top row of the lower bowl. With a roof. And exclusive escalator service.

You'll have to try harder than that to piss in my cornflakes. These seat are gonna rock!

On the other hand, the players won't be doing a Lambeau leap where you are, so you won't be seen on national TV next to a famous Packer.

As long as dumdums are willing to pay it...why not

Go Cyclones.

That doesn't work for the Cowpukes but it keeps Jerruh looking young.

That's a Green Package problem.

The Gold Package never gets late Nov./Dec. games. Early Nov. at the latest, usually.

@jasonjwilde. If you expanded Lambeau to the size of the Rose Bowl I still think it sells out. Best place in the NFL to play/watch football.

I think Bowen is off a bit with that confident prediction.
Lambeau may be sold out all the time but it's rarely a full packed house.
I'll be curious to see what attendance numbers are like when the south endzone is done.

Waaay too many opposing fans in G.B.

My brothers and I made it for the 06 opener and there were tons of fans. We paid a pretty penny for those 10th row seats. Had the perfect view for Grossmans TD to Berrian.

Respectful fans, great stadium. Nothing bad to say.

There are a lot of elderly people who use their season tickets to supplement their income and their is the clown from Shawano that owns 600 some seats that has a business selling tickets.

You're kidding, right? How can one person be allowed to own that many?

That's terrible, but every stadium has their issues. Chicago should have the biggest, most up to date stadium but the city went cheap and you can tell.
