Just keep letting the page load, don't refresh. Eventually it will come up. The $25 handling fee was a joke but whatever.
At least it was one $25 fee per transaction. I purchased a few shares as gifts and only had to pay 1 $25 fee.
Put in all of my info but it shows my stock in my "cart", but won't allow me to checkout. Anyone else with this problem?
Hmmmmmm... send me all your credit card info and I'll try it on my end.

Agreed that the $25 handling fee was a nice perk. Savages!!!!

Got it! Merry Christmas to me, Merry Christmas to me... 
Let's see, own a piece of paper saying I own a part of the greatest franchise in sports or a spending any amount of money or time on the Vikings or Bears.
I did.
I did.
Got one share for me and one for my 18 month old son. The Pack won a SB on his birth year, now he is a share holder at 18 months old. What a great time to be a Packer fan !
In the first 11 minutes, the Packers generated $400,000 in money from selling stock... not including the $25 handling fee.
I have to admit, the $25 handling fee is pure genius. The guy who came up with that one is getting a nice Christmas bonus I'd bet.
So that's an extra $40,000 in revenue for handling fees in the first 11 minutes.
OK, I got a share each for the kids, but now where do I get that really nice darkly stained wooden frame with the Packer emblem on it?
IIRC, they were available in the Packer Pro Shop, but I don't have my number with me so I can't log in to the Stockholder portion to see if they're in there. I'll look when I get home
You can get this one at amazon

The $7-8 beer tender is a bigger genius and deserves a bigger bonus.

Were these frames an option to buy while you were purchasing the stock? If so, I completely missed that one.
Hmm looks like this stock sale is going better then the last one. As I remember the last stock sale was a bit disappointing for the Packers. I think it only raised about 60% of what they expected.
I believe the $25 transaction fee goes to Wells Fargo Shareholder Services of St. Paul MN and not the Packers. Since the Packers are not a financial institution, I don't think can can actually "sell" stock. It must be sold by an institution licensed to do so.

Yes, please do let us know Hauser. I need a nice frame for my new stock.
I have the stock and my shareholder ring. NOW, I'm ready to go to Lambeau on Sunday! Booyah!
Any other nice frame ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks.
If I had only known...
@adbrandt
Yes, when I worked for Packers I sensed I was working for all shareholders, even though stock value was nil. I reported to Cheeseheads.

My buddy... "$250 for worthless piece of paper?! Greatest scam ever!".
He does not understand the Packer Nation and the relationship the fans have with the team. While I dont share his sentiment, I cant justify the purchase my self.

Hauser, seeing that was 14yrs ago you are also talking to an audience that were kids back then. All the good seasons since they were young will more than likely have them purchasing stock this time around.
Watered down, but does confer actual ownership.
I already had one share from 1997 so this time as part of their Christmas gifts I got one share for each of my kids. They will be very excited. Nothing like saying "I'm a part owner".
Owner. I claim the touchdown marker in the north end zone.
You might have to fight P'foo for that one.
Back in 1997 my stock specified my part of the Packers was TOG’s camera ceil phone. Boy did that turn out well.
Oh boy is that a softball. Give me somethime to write,I mean pull up those old records.

Thanks, Hauser. Ya, my number's at home too. This Amazon frame doesn't look even close to the quality of the frame available in the last stock sale.
I'm sure the Pro Shop will come up with something sooner than later. The one on Amazon looks like crap.
Hmm... let's see: $400,000 in 11 minutes figures to about $2,181,818.18 per hour. They're making almost as much as Brett did per INT with the Vikings last year!
FYI....
So for those of you that own stock & have any ideas about criticizing the packers, I'll be watching and be sure to let Goodell know of your actions.
