How the heck does someone end up with 13 Season Tickets in Green Bay?

Read the comments section on the bottom of this article. Interesting.

Maybe their dad was a pretty smart guy and stocked up on them when you didn't have to get in a 100000 people line.

I don't really like this system anyway, but when people screw it over like this, it makes you quite pissed. I'm not even buying tickets and I think that these people shouldn't have 13 season tickets. Just sell the tickets on a game to game basis or come up with a different system for season tickets or people will keep taking advantage of it like this.

Can't seem to locate the article, but I remember hearing about tavern owners that were not able to pay that stadium fee back when because they had something like 40 tickets.

I don't like the being able to will tickets, you can see how some people have been able to stockpile tickets. Get a set of their own through the list, and get others willed to them. I think they should remove the ability to pass tickets through the family.

While I am pissed off at this situation, I am trying to run reasons through my head why the father left all tickets to one son and is having them split 55% to 45%.
Wonder who the favorite was???

Well how would that work? For example, a guy and his son go to games together their whole lives, and then when the dad passes away, the son loses the tickets? Are you pissed off at the people who have 2 tickets and go to every game that they can possibly make for their entire lives, parents to children, going on 3 generations?

Just because some people take advantage of it to get over a dozen tickets doesn't mean that we should rashly go ahead and screw everyone. How does someone on a waiting list deserve the tickets any more than people whose families have been paying for the tickets for decades? How do you justify taking away those tickets, in effect, to give to someone else?

Just curious. 🙂 Not an issue for me going forward, because our tickets our in both of our names already (father and son).

I would guess that if the tickets could not be passed on, then the list would move much faster. Which would enable the kids to get their own tickets prior to the father dieing.

Not THAT much faster. Maybe sometimes, in clumps, for people like this who have a lot of tickets.

How about just put a cap on how many can be transferred, if this kind of abuse is what bothers people?

I know there is no exact number, but what is the waiting list? 35 years or so? By not being able to pass the tickets on, that would probably drop to somewhere in the mid 20 range for years. So by putting your kids on the list when young, they would probably get tickets by the time they graduate college or shortly after. Which is also about the time that they would be able to afford them.

Capping the number somehow might work also.
