The Green Bay Packers are holding their ticket prices steady in 2009, breaking a recent trend of raising prices every other year.
Citing the current state of the economy and the impact it has had both locally and nationally as one of the main factors, President and CEO Mark Murphy said ticket prices for the coming year would remain at the same levels as the '07 and '08 seasons.

"We felt this was appropriate for our ticket holders," Murphy said. "We're sensitive to the situation many of our fans may be in, and hopefully holding prices is helpful to them. We're all going through this together and everyone is taking measures to deal with the situation they find themselves in, both at an individual and business level."

The absolute best move to make. I'm surprised they didn't raise the prices, but I'm very glad that they didn't. This economy plus a 6-10 record last season would have made a price raise a tough pill to swallow, IMO.

This will be the 3rd year in a row with no increase. They also didn't increase the tickets when the renovations were complete. This is good but I'm worried the some of the players salaries might suffer now *insert sarcasm*

It can be expensive going to the games especially if your from out of town and like to have a beer or 3. $6 - $7 for a beer in the stadium and 2 night minimums at the local hotels. Also, what's with all the crappy restaurants in GB. I've been a season ticket holder since the renovations and I still haven't found a restaurant that I look forward to going to whenever I'm in GB for dinner. Breakfast is a different story. Hands down best restaurant for breakfast is the Bay Family Restaurant on military. Try the eggs benedict if you ever get there.

They have great food. Their rooms are nice, and cheap. And the employees are very friendly too. (that is important to me)

I stayed there twice last year, and plan on staying there in the future.

Smart play by the Packers. Unlike many other football teams in the nfl, the packers have the luxury of knowing exactly how much income they will recieve from ticket sales. They can budget from the guaranteed income of a complete sellout of each home game.

That's where I usually stay too. They also allow dogs which is a nice bonus. I stayed there for 4 games last year so we were practically neighbors. Some friends and I had a half barrel of New Glarus Spotted Cow set up by our room after the opener against the Vikings.

We had a Packers Planet / Packers News tailgate party at the Vikings game. That's why we had the half barrel.
