Playoff tickets

they will mail them. haven't seen mine yet either. I would expect they go out right after christmas.

Got an email saying I won the Gold Ticket Lottery. Haven't seen any tics or seat assignments yet.

Tickets came in the mail today.

Do they sell you tickets for TWO games? Since, theoretically, the Pack could end up hosting two playoff games.

Yes. You get 2 games. 2 years in a row I got tickets and I have Gold Package tickets.

I have the Green package and tickets arrived today as well.

Mine arrived.

Got mine in the mail today (Alabama address).

Got mine, too. Merry Christmas!

Instead of starting a new thread, this seemed like a good place to discuss this. Packers will have at least 1 home playoff game and hopefully 2.

#Packers should stop practice of Lambeau PA man going, "And that's another (pause) Packers first down! (fans cheer)." Fit for preps, not NFL.

My initial reaction was Bob being Bitter. But there is something to be said about the artificial noise being pushed on fans at Lambeau. GForce, Horrible music (Ke$ha "This place about to blow" needs to stop).

Lambeau isn't the loudest, but it is one of the smartest stadiums in football. No need for wild graphics letting everyone know it's 3rd and 10, "Make some noise". Lambeau is best when it's left alone.

Anyone think Lambeau is pandering to the casual fan a little too hard?

I was at the Tenn game last weekend and thought the whole "first down" thing was madness. My arm was tired from "high Fiving". Very Weak. Stick to "Go Pack Go".

I have felt, listening in surround from home, that there has been a significant reduction of the and it has been dissapointing.

Anyone else having problems with Ticketmaster? There are no Pack tickets listed as available......

Back up now.

Yes! The fans know what to do. Use your fancy scoreboard to, ya know, show the score and relevant information. I don't need it to tell me what the suits want/expect from me.
and that whole "First Down" thing is a huge joke. if you hear that on TV it's just the scoreboard yelling it. haven't heard a single person around me follow its prompting. it is pathetic.

Yes.

The pleading with people to do the Seven Nation Army chant is embarrassing, and then they pump in not only the music, but a recorded chant on top of it.

What's the first down thing? Is it like our chat room? Red Cashion style?

Have you got something against Pennsylvanians?

Does anyone else remember that NFL Sunday Golden Ticket commercial with Barry Sanders and Brian Urlacher? I <3 Musical Theatre, and I <3 Homo Soundboard Iowacheese too.

South Endzone, row 8. Two less Viking fans at Lambeau.

GO PACK GO!

I'm not positive they do it for every first down the Packers get (like I said I try my best not to pay attention to scoreboard crap) but it goes like this:
- Packers get a 1st down
- PA guy says "and that's another..." while the entire scoreboard shows the words "First Down" and then the fans are supposed to join in with the scoreboard yelling "First Down".

it's quite pathetic.

The First Down things sounds very Metrodomish to me.

First down - blow the horn.
Kickoff in the end zone - blow the horn.
Hillbilly gets a sack - blow the horn.

Ugh.
