GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – Green Bay Packers fans will have to pay more to see the team play in 2016, but they’re also getting preseason tickets at a much lower price.
On Thursday, the Packers organization released their new pricing model for 2016. Season ticket holders will have invoices sent to them this week.
The two-tier model puts the cost of watching a preseason game significantly lower than regular season games. Over all 10 home games, the average ticket cost will increase $5. That’s about a 5% hike.
Here are the costs of tickets in respective areas in 2016:
- End zone seats ($80 in 2015) – $45 for preseason, $95 for regular season
- South end zone, 700 Level ($89 in 2015) – $50 for preseason, $105 for regular season
- End zone to the 20-yard line ($92 in 2015) – $53 for preseason, $108 for regular season
- South end zone, 600 Level ($96 in 2015) – $57 for preseason, $112 for regular season
- Between the 20-yard lines ($105 in 2015) – $62 for preseason, $122 for regular season
As the organization transitions to using the variable pricing model, in 2016 the overall price of the seven-game Green package will increase and the three-game Gold package will decrease from their 2015 prices, due to the ratio of preseason to regular season games in each package.
As an example with variable pricing, a ticket that cost $80 in 2015 saw its preseason price reduced to $45 in 2016 and the regular-season game price increased to $95. For the full season, a Green package ticket that cost $560 (one preseason at $80 and six regular season at $80) in 2015 will increase to $615 (one at $45 and six at $95) in 2016. A Gold package ticket that cost $240 (one preseason at $80 and two regular season at $80) in 2015 will decrease to $235 (one at $45 and two at $95) in 2016.
