Factors at work here:
- We don't know our opponent yet, so the other team's fans are not in the market yet. That will change on either Saturday or Sunday.
- Packer fans are taking advantage of the bye and will start buying later. Maybe waiting for the ten day forecast to cover next Sunday.
- People list their tickets and set it so that their tickets drop in price if they don't sell.
- If you are a speculator, you may think that $30 today is better than the chance at $60 next week.
If I am right, the prices will drop further tomorrow, but after that the tickets will become rarer and start to become unaffordable.
I am a Gold Package single season ticket holder. but I won the lottery and have one (1) ticket. Since the Green package person who shares my seat location kept it, my seat was assigned quite at random. Good for me. My season ticket is one of the worst seats in the stadium (low in the end zone, but not so low that anyone can jump there). Not complaining, happy to have it, but recognizing reality.
My new seat is in section 124, row 24 - about the 25 yard line on the press box side, less than half way up. Prime or close to it. My goal is to sell my one good ticket and buy two bad ones so that my wife can come to the game too. If I buy 2 now, when prices are lower, I should be able to sell my better seat later. Probably can't totally cover the cost of two (esp after the NFL and Ticketmaster take their cut), but hope to come within $100, which would be a bargain for a playoff ticket. Almost any ticket is as good as my regular season ticket, so I won't miss the better seat.
