It wouldn't be hard to foil. Limit the number of tickets an individual account can purchase. That would prevent dealers from buying up vast swathes of tickets..

I guess no business would ever try and circumvent it. They would only buy the allowed 4 or 10 tickets and be happy with the ones they got.
No one would use multiple computers at multiple locations with various addresses.

Require, like the airlines do, that the name on the order match the picture ID of the person picking them up. Only allow them to be picked up on-site on gameday.

Not practical. I am not driving 4 hours one way without my tickets in hand.
Having to have the Packers hand out the tickets by hand would require extra staff. Create bottlenecks and ultimately drive up the cost.

I don't disagree with you that is would be nice to be able to buy a reasonably priced single game ticket. For the more successful franchises in the NFL it just won't happen.

There is even talk that GB will expand the bowl to around 100,000 seats. Maybe if they do that they can make the change but with so many people in line waiting I doubt it. As of now. I send them my check. They cash it and mail me my tickets. It is a lot simpler for them than to have to have 20 or 30 people stand in a ticket booth on Sunday mornings for a couple of hours. Now that I think about it, they don't even have a "Will call booth." Least not that I have seen. They would have to build a whole section just for this.

There are ticket booths at Lambeau and that should be your 1st stop if you don't have tickets in hand. I have been able to score tickets there for face value.
Many times over the years I have gone to Green Bay with no tickets and never failed to get in and I have never had to pay over face value.
Many times I ended up with free tickets.
A few years ago my wife and I along with 2 other couples went down empty handed and ended up buying 6 tickets in a box with TVs food and drinks for $100.00 each for a Lions game.
Granted it's alot easier fo me being only 3 hours from Green Bay to drive down and back in a day for any Packers event but believe me, tickets are always tickets available for face value or less.

Contrary to NSD's statement, there are no "lousy" seats in Lambeau Field.
It mainly depends on how much work you want to put in to get tickets.

One thing I didn't see brought up, but do they still have that $1500 per ticket charge for just having the rights to the tickets and then you have to actually pay for the tickets after that?

I remember they had that back when they wanted to add on to lambeau to help pay for it, but do they still have it and if you add that figure in how do we stand compared to other places?

1500 x 70,000 =105,000,000 or something like that and thats just bonus money

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

They still have the personal seating license. I do not remember how much it was per ticket. They charge more for the Green Package than the Gold Package since they get more games.
We don't get the money back unless they resell our tickets to someone else. if GB charges more for the seats to the new ticketholders they get to keep the extra money we do not.

The tickets themselves are in addition tot he PSL.

The "bonus" money did help pay to refurbish the stadium.

I'm pretty sure that is a one time deal (the PSL). After you have paid that you only pay for your tickets each year after that as long as you keep them.

yep. If I was not clear I am sorry. The fee is not annual.
I did a quick google check and the PSL was $200 per game (Incl preseason) per seat. 10 home games means $2000 per seat times 73,128 seats $146,256,000.

I don't think there's much to complain about. I don't know about all the other teams but looking at Colts or Patriot tickets the last 2 years they are way higher priced. As for NSD thinking that the only way to go is paying way above face value, maybe I've been lucky but I've never paid much more then face value and have gone to 5 games. That's what I love about WI people is how kind they've been. The first guy who got me tickets was so happy to see me that interested in going to a game he mailed me tickets for 3 years at cost. With each game I went to I just kept meeting more people who said if I ever needed tickets give them a call.

Again, as I have already said at least twice in this thread, my main gripe isn't the price. The increased price is just a side effect of not being able to obtain the tickets on the primary market. Sure, there's always a chance you won't have to pay the increased price, particularly if you know people, but I don't want to have to rely on the aftermarket. I'd prefer to buy my own tickets for myself.

Obviously, I'm not advocating that the Packers make all or even most tickets available this way. I think a good number would be around 5,000 or 10,000. I believe it's 8,000 tickets that are reserved for Brown County residents, though I could be wrong. The general-admission tickets could be priced a little higher than Brown County reserve tickets, so the taxpayers don't get their feathers ruffled.

Zero2Cool (1h) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (4h) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (5h) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (22h) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23h) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.
