ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – As the Packers playoff chances have been dropping, so have ticket prices.
On the second-hand ticket market, it’s basically half-priced seats for this Sunday’s Packers game versus the Arizona Cardinals.
This week, about 40 people per day have called Ticket King in Ashwaubenon to see if they could sell them their Packers tickets. Unfortunately for them, Ticket King isn’t buying.
“We usually buy up until the day of the game, but with how many tickets we have and not a lot of demand, that is kind of where we are at,” said Travis Loftus, the manager at Ticket King.
Face value tickets at Lambeau Field range between $109 and $136.
King tells FOX 11 for this Sunday’s game, Ticket King is selling tickets between $49 and $150.
“It’s just kind of a perfect storm: the Packers how they are performing lately, a December game which it’s usually cold, snow, or rain, and then the opponent isn’t a big draw either.”.
“I’d feel comfortable paying $60, not much more than that to be honest,” said Nathaniel McNabb of Oconto.
When expectations were high at the beginning of the season, Tessa Torres and Greg Hartert of Los Angeles tell FOX 11 they paid $300 dollars apiece for their tickets.
“We’re from out of town, so we just wanted to come to the game and have a good time.”
The bottom line from fans is they’re not surprised at the ticket prices based on the way the team has been playing.
“I think just as an overall the team is just not good,” said McNabb. “They’re not good together.”
“A couple calls the other way and we could be sitting in a really expensive game, so it’s just the way it breaks,” said Hartert.
Ticket prices for the team’s two other December home games are also below face value.
Ticket King has seats for the Falcons game starting at $54 and the Lions at $67.
