GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – There’s a buzz around town as the Packers near their season opener against the rival-Chicago Bears on Sunday night, but fans will have to shell out more than a few bucks to get inside.
It’s going to be the 197th meeting in the historic matchup and for the Packers, it’s the kick-off to an exciting season that is highlighted by the return of Aaron Rodgers, promising rookie draft picks, and high impact free agent acquisitions.
Green Bay Ticket King Manager Travis Loftus says fans have had this game circled for a while.
“Definitely been a hot ticket since the schedule came out in April,” he explains.
Tickets to get in Sunday night start are still available, but start at around $215 dollars and go up from there.
And don’t think prices will dip down for week 2, because it’s just the opposite.
‘The Vikings game is actually a hotter commodity than the Bears game right now,” says Loftus. “The Vikings start out around $320 a ticket.”
If those prices are too steep, Loftus explains the best bet is to wait until it gets cold.
“The Cardinals or Falcons game in December is the least desirable on the schedule right now because they are further out,” he says. “I don’t think Cardinals or Atlanta fans will be traveling here then, I think it’s too cold for them.”
The latest chapter in the Packers and Bears rivalry kicks off this Sunday night at Lambeau Field starting at 7:20 P.M.
