So, I've been on the season ticket waiting list since I've been 10 years old. 26 years later, I'm still getting my postcard in the mail telling me how many spots I've moved up. Now, obviously since I've been waiting for so long I don't move up much each year.
Take a look at the image. These are from the last four years. 2006 & 2007 seasons (still Favre years) the amount I moved up was pretty minimal. This has been the case the entire time that Favre was a Packer (except for the year the renovations and additional seating was in place). 2008 & 2009 seasons (Rodgers' era) there is a considerable decrease (or increase depending on how you're looking at this) in my position.
Either a bunch of people died and forgot to put their season tickets in their will, or Favre was the attraction. As we all know, Packer fans are not 'fair-weather' fans, so I think the change is due more to my good luck of not having to wait as long for tickets...plus a few drunks who lost their privileges.
But, by my calculations I'm gaining about 65 seats per year (since I've been 10) and I'll be 74 years old when I receive my season tickets! On the positive side, at least I'll be old enough to get a handicap parking space at the stadium!
I'm hoping that the current trend of 100+ movement continues...that'll help lower that wait. Or, maybe they'll add onto Lambeau again. Just not too much though, I want it to remain just like I remember it.
Now, some of you may be wondering how a guy from Oregon is going to afford to get back and forth to every home game. Well, probably won't happen every game. I may be having family and friends I didn't even know I had coming out of the woodwork.
Anyone else on PackersHome on the waiting list or have current season tickets? [url=index.php?name=Pro_News&aid=124]full article[/url].
