Packers increase tickets for next season
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers are increasing ticket prices for the upcoming season.
Price increases range from $2 to $5 depending on the location in Lambeau Field. End-zone seats increase $2 to $74. Tickets from the 20-yard line to the end zone increase $5 to $85. Seats between the 20-yard lines will go up $5 to $97.
Prices for the new South End seats are $82 and $89.
Packers president Mark Murphy says the increases keep ticket prices about average for the NFL.
Murphy says the revenue is important to keeping the Packers competitive in the league. Also, Murphy says the team wants to be fair to visiting teams in terms of shared revenue. One-third of all ticket revenue goes to the visiting team.
Invoices are being sent to season-ticket holders this week.

I could care less how much anyone pays to see a game. If you can afford it, go for it. I choose not to.

Wow Badgerlvr, who are you to question someone elses common sense? Just because you might not agree with them does not make them wrong!!

dbt: I was raised in G.B. I've been to more games than you could ever imagine. I understand the reverence of the Packers but when does the idolization end? At what point does common sense exceed cost?

They should increase them by $100 a game, that might get a few people to surrender their tickets and move those of us way down the season ticket list a little farther up it.

If you don't understand it, you have never been to a game.

I can't understand why anyone would want to pay close to $100 to see a game one could watch on television. They certainly must not be feeling an economic crunch everyone is complaining about.
