GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – As the Packers prepare for their first preseason game this weekend, there may be no better time for fans to look into buying tickets for the games they hope to attend at Lambeau Field this season.
“Everyone’s definitely excited to fill up Lambeau and get her ready to rock and roll this year,” said Travis Loftus at Ticket King. “Sales are starting to ramp up here now that training camp showed up last week, and with the first preseason game this week.”
With the Houston Texans coming to town this weekend, people are looking to find their seats – even if it’s just a preseason event.
“Preseason tickets, we honestly have them as cheap as $10 at this time, going up to about $100,” Loftus said.
He expects things to return to at least a similar level to what they saw in 2019, even if sales aren’t quite up to par yet.
“With fans coming in and buying tickets, expectations of the team are high that they should be a playoff team, and sales should be good, hopefully,” Loftus told WTAQ News. “With everyone being pent up and locked in last year there’s been a pretty good demand with people buying tickets. It hasn’t been as good as we were hoping it was going to be, obviously with still some of this COVID stuff still lingering and the whole Rodgers thing was going on for a while, so sales were a little bit slower.”
But now that Rodgers is officially back, Loftus says sales have definitely picked up. Regular season games are starting to see quite a bit of interest. Fans seem to be trending towards a few games – as Washington comes to town for a noon kickoff on October 24th, and as the west-coast rival Seattle Seahawks fly in for a November 14th afternoon game.
The hottest ticket right now is actually for the Pittsburgh Steelers visit on October 3rd.
“It’s been selling gangbusters – the reason being is that it’s one of the only warm-weather games on the schedule being at 3:00 p.m. And Steelers fans travel very well, and obviously they don’t come to Lambeau very often,” Loftus said. “Regular season games average around $170 for a game. We’ve got them as cheap as $120 for one of the games at the end of the year, but for that Steeler game that’s going crazy, we’re up over $300 a ticket.”
Overall, Loftus is feeling good about the trajectory of sales this football season, but he’s just happy to have action back at the big green building across the street.
“It’s night and day compared to what it was last year, obviously. What we all went through was no fun,” Loftus said. “It’s just great to talk football with fans and customers. You can definitely see the enthusiasm with the fans in town, by the field, loaded up around the fence and everything.”
