This is from 2005 so it is pretty old but I thnk the amount of tickets has remained the same.

Brown County residents can sign up for the chance to purchase single-seat game tickets. The deadline this year was March 17, but people can register for next year. The 2005 season will mark the third year that 4,000 seats per game are available to Brown County residents. Registration forms are available at the Packers' ticket office, the Packers Pro Shop and the guest services desk in the Lambeau Field Atrium. Fans can fill out the form, and with the proper identification (picture I.D. and proof of Brown County residency), register in person. Residents who have already registered do not have to re-register.

I found a more current story at packerforum.com . They truncated the story and their link to the orginal site does not work.

The Green Bay Packers are reminding Brown County residents who have not previously registered to sign up for the chance to purchase single-game tickets for the 2010 season.

The registration period is currently underway and will run until March 1. Forms are available at the Packers' ticket office, the Packers Pro Shop and guest relations desk in the Lambeau Field Atrium. Fans can fill out the form, and with the proper identification (picture I.D. and proof of Brown County residency), register in person. Residents who have registered in the past do not need to sign up again.

The upcoming season will mark the eighth year that 4,000 seats per game are available to Brown County residents.

As was the case during recent seasons, if a 2009 selected resident who received tickets for a preseason game is selected again to be able to purchase tickets in 2010, he or she will be guaranteed tickets to a regular-season contest.

I think it's a little misleading to say that tickets would be "available" if they sold single game tickets on the primary market. Not only would you have a huge fan base clambering for tickets as soon as they are for sale, you would have people who have no interest in going to the games working the system to scoop up as many of the tickets as possible so they could turn around and make a big profit.

Here is something that shocked me. I never imagined that any team would have unused tickets that they would be returning.
This is from the Packer website.

Packers Single-Game Tickets
From time to time, a visiting team returns tickets for a game at Lambeau Field. When such an occasion occurs, the tickets will be made available immediately on Ticketmaster.com. The Packers are pleased to offer this easy and efficient method to purchasing tickets, if they are available.

Fans interested in checking on ticket availability should log on the week of the game to determine if any are available.

Online, click here for the link to Ticketmaster.

Over the phone, tickets can be purchased by calling Ticketmaster toll-free sales number at 800/745-3000. The toll-free Ticketmaster Express number, 866/448-7849, also can be used. It is a self-service information line utilizing an automated system. A TDD (Telecommunications Device for the Deaf) number also is available at 877/474-4TDD.

In-person sales will be conducted at a number of Ticketmaster locations, including Boston Store locations in Brookfield, Glendale, Greendale, Janesville, Madison, Milwaukee, Racine and Wauwatosa. Other in-person locations are Younker's in Green Bay and the Milwaukee Theatre.

That's where the occasionally available gameday tickets I mentioned earlier come from. There's the tickets awarded to Brown County residents, and then there are the tickets given to opposing team fans. If they're not all used, anyone can buy them.

Responses to miscellaneous comments in the thread:

1. Having single game sales isn't going to provide scalpers an opportunity to jack up prices. Scalpers have no affect on ticket prices. Prices are driven by what people are willing to pay. Scalpers merely take advantage of people who do not have the time or ambition to sell tickets at a premium or purchase them cheaply.

2. Tickets are available through the box office, but only when tickets held by the Packers are turned back in. Tickets are held back for the opposing team, VIP's, marketing partners, etc. If they are not used the Packers make them available to the public. They can be purchased usually the Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday before a home game; you need to call the Packers for availability.

3. Tickets are also available on game day for the same reasons as #2. However, many people and scalpers know about this. It's hit or miss to get tickets this way and to be honest, it's usually a miss. Late December games when the Packers are out of it are the best times to try getting tickets this way.

4. Season tickets are available through a USER FEE, not a Personal Seat License. A PSL means you are the legal owner of the seats. A User Fee grants you the right to use the seat. It may sound like semantics but there is a huge difference. A User Fee means you do not have any control over the seats which gives the Packers more advantages.

5. The User Fee per seat is $1400 for the Green ticket package and $600 for the Gold package. The fee is refunded to you whenever you give up your tickets (paid by the new season ticket holder). The Packers do not receive any of this money, it was used to pay for the 2002 renovation.

packerfanoutwest (19m) : 49ers are underdogs at Packers, ending streak of 36 straight games as favorites

Zero2Cool (8h) : 49ers might be down their QB, DL, TE and LT?

packerfanoutwest (22h) : Jaire Alexander says he has a torn PCL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : Even with the context it's ... what?

Mucky Tundra (20-Nov) : Matt LaFleur without context: “I don’t wanna pat you on the butt and you poop in my hand.”

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : ok so then wht are the totals the same as last week?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : NFL Pick'em is auto updated when NFL Scores tab is clicked

Martha Careful (19-Nov) : The offense was OK. Let's not forget the Bear defense is very very good.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?

beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.

bboystyle (18-Nov) : Lions played outside thats why. They scored 16 and 17 in the only 2 outside games this year

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league

packerfanoutwest (18-Nov) : Packers DL Kenny Clark: We knew 'we were going to block' Bears' game-winning field goal attempt

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Lions seem to be throttling everyone, but only (only) got 24 lol maybe the rain is why

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Packers vs Lions game doesn't seem so bad.

beast (18-Nov) : Dennis Green "They are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : comment of the day Z2Cool "Bears better than we want to admit. Packers worse than we think. It's facts."

Mucky Tundra (17-Nov) : my worst case scenario: Bears fix their oline and get a coach like Johnson from the Lions and his scheme

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Badgers got hosed vs Oregon

packerfanoutwest (16-Nov) : damn,he hasn't played since week 2

Mucky Tundra (15-Nov) : poor guy can't catch a break
