Oh noooooo! No Packers on TV?
7500 tickets remain for a PLAYOFF game?? For The Packers???
Now you know the economy is in the dumper...
Seven degrees in Green bay on Sunday.
I wonder if the game will still be on The Red Zone? I would think so.
Just watch it at http://www.rojadirecta.me/ !
How is this possible? I’d check the news source.
/no offense
Obviously, like anything else that doesn’t sell, the price is too high. Just like Obamacare.
Forbes.com reported that the Packers have the highest-priced ticket of any team hosting a game this weekend, at an average of $349 and a low price of $156 up 44 percent from regular-season prices.
Didn’t help that you had to pay for both this game and an NFC Championship ticket as season ticket holder. Also doesn’t help that instead of refunding your playoff money in january the Packers now just put it towards your renewal for next year.
In this economy, before Christmas, for a team that had the smallest sliver of chance of making the playoffs when the buying option went out and the poor game day experience that even lambeau field can’t change will lead to a shortage of willing buyers.
Yep the economy is in the tank , I always told my dad when we watched Football on the tube to look in the stands ,most of the seats was empty. I saw many college bowl games this year where the stands reminded me of when I was in high school , pathetic.
The Colts can’t sell tickets either and may be blacked out. Odd.
Just put the tickets on the Federal Affordable Entertainment Exchange website (www.entertainmentcare.gov).
Costs too much, right after Christmas and the weather. Yes, we are talking Packers fans, but maybe it is finally too much. Not a fan, but know folks who are. I imagine all the bars will have it on satellite.

Actually temp is lowering with every forecast.
probably 3-4 degrees at kickoff. -5 degrees by end of game.
And new NFL payment policy wouldn’t allow playoff money to be refunded like in the past. That really hurt playoff ticket sales right before Christmas.
Most of the college bowl games exist for the TV audience, not the ticket buyers. It really doesn’t matter how many people go to the lesser bowls. They are the only football on TV that day and exist on that money.
