I wait every single year for my postcard with my new number. Sometimes it’s exciting; sometimes it’s disappointing. I was lucky that Grandma put my name in when I was young. Even waiting a few more years would have placed me a lot higher. A quarter-century ago was right around the Brett Favre era, and the team was finally doing well again.

According to a report in 2019, there were about 137,000 names now on the waitlist. And with as few as only 750 tickets changing hands some years, you can join the waitlist the day you are born and still not have a chance if you live to be 100.

I received GREEN Package postcards for 30 years. Once the 7000 seats were added to the south endzone, my number was called in 2013, and I got my tickets. In 11 years the price has increased from $85 to $148 per ticket. I've had great success selling or donating my tickets exclusively to real Packers fans that I know, when necessary. What happened Thursday night seeing all of that Honolulu blue in the seats was disgusting and disappointing.

The gold package game excuse thing is getting old. I don’t care if that’s a pink package game played on a Saturday we lose that game 10/10 times because the Lions are a talented team playing hard for their coach.

Concur wholeheartedly. But win, tie or lose, the fact that the Packers ticketholders sell their tickets to visiting fans still seems unconscionable and disgusting.

I’m good with it. Can’t expect fans to pay for a bad product. Let it be a statement to Murphy and Gutenbumst that the product in the field is not acceptable. As fans it’s up to us to put pressure on the organization when we don’t have an owner.

point is even with the price near double the list went from 137,000 in 2019 to near 150,000 according to Pckfn now, and with a measly rollover of 750 to 1000 tickets a season it would take 150 years if I applied for tickets today, I do expect turnover increases over that, but still, that discourages people from even attempting to get on the list.

nah, I think the FO will put up with season ticket holders selling tickets, as long as the seats are filled, obviously they don't like seeing 15,000 foreign jerseys in the stands, (typically it's far less) but the consistency has been great the stadium is always sold out.
Glad you finally got yours
