GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – With rain in the forecast for Sunday and the Packers coming off a loss, ticket sales for the divisional game against the Vikings are slumping. Now might be the time for fans to cash in on inexpensive tickets, while making sure the stands are still full of green and gold.
Sunday is the first time the Packers will play at home in nearly a month. The last time was back on September 28 when they hosted the Lions in front of a very pro-Detroit crowd.
With a cold rain in the forecast for game time, and the team coming off a loss in Denver, tickets for the game are accessible and less expensive.
“The ticket prices have dipped since last week on what ticket prices have been but there’s still a big demand with it being a division rival game and everything,” said Travis Loftus with Ticket King Green Bay.
According to Loftus, prices have dropped anywhere from $50 to $100 since last week. And the average ticket price ranges from $175-$250 per ticket.
He added, “Traditionally I would say you’re better off waiting to get the ticket sometimes because there’s last minute deals to be had, but obviously if the team is playing really well then it’s the opposite effect where the tickets will go up in price.”
While the Packers are coming off a loss, their opponent won a big game on Monday Night Football. Interest in being at Lambeau Field on Sunday is coming from both sides, but Loftus said, “I would say it’s a little bit more from Vikings fans at this point, but there’s still that fair share of Packers fans that want to go. I think a lot of people are waiting to see what the weather is going to do before they decide to pull the trigger at the last minute.”
Packers fans don’t like to see the opposing team represented too much in the stands at Lambeau Field.
“I realize it’s free enterprise, but I really really really don’t like the fact that people are profiteering off their tickets, I wish they would just be true fans,” add Gregg Graycarek from Appleton.
Because those who call themselves true fans understand the importance of home field advantage – whether the team is winning or losing — no matter the weather conditions.
Christina King, from Appleton said, “They’re like family. We don’t give up on family. We’ve got to be there to root for family. We’ve got a new family member, that would be Love, and our new family needs our love and support and that’s how, that’s how they rally. We see that, we see it. When they feel our energy in the stands, that’s the thing that motivates them to keep on pushing. I feel like that’s what the Packers are all about.”
