ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ) – Tickets for a popular summer family event went on sale Wednesday.
Trying to get the best seat available, the first person in line arrived at 5:00 Tuesday night.
Green Bay area residents Brenda and Karen arrived at 3:00 a.m. and are pros at this.
They say their friendship began one year while waiting in line.
“I have been getting tickets for ten years, but we have known each other in line for six,” said Brenda.
“We are all good friends and we sit together every year for Family Night,” Karen added. The two also had to pick up tickets for other family members. “This is the only time my grandson gets to go to Lambeau so we do it every year.”
They even found ways to pass the time.
“I went to go get coffee and then she went to go get donuts,” Karen said.
They said the main reason why they got there so early was to make sure that they could all sit together.
Not everybody waited long. Green Bay resident Christopher got there when the window opened a little before 10:00 a.m. but has attended every family night, and would not miss this one.
“I think it is the word family. You want to see the kids have fun.”
He has been to all 17 Family Nights and said he did not need to get there early because tickets have always been available.
Family Night is Saturday, August 4.
Proceeds will benefit Wendy’s Wonderful Kids program.
