Green Bay Packers president Mark Murphy revealed that, given the opportunity, over 80 percent of season ticket holders decided to opt out of tickets for this season, a factor that contributed to the Packers beginning the season with at least two home games without fans.
In July, the Packers asked season ticket holders to opt in or opt out of tickets in 2020. The decision did not affect ticket-holding status in future years and gave ticket holders an opportunity to receive a full refund for 2020 or have this year’s payment credited to the 2021 season.
The majority opted out.

Good for them. Why would you spend money to be treated like dirt?
Packers fans are the most loyal of any team in the NFL.
This should be a wake up call, but they’re too woke to hear it.
Noteworthy this clown makes no mention of players dissing the nation's flag having to do with fan depletion.
Take a knee.
i wonder how many requested 2020 refunds vs. applying their money to 2021 season tickets?
Wow. Never thought I’d see this happen in Cheesehead Nation. Good for them!
Millionaire knuckle dragging morons taking a knee because they’re oppressed killed all enjoyment of sports for millions of us. Let these leagues die the slow and painful demise they deserve. I’d rather go fishing anyway.
I am one that opted out. First, I’m not going to any games where I have to wear a face mask. Second, they did not guarantee that you would even get to any game. I need to make arrangements well ahead of time to get off of work so I can attend some of these games. I’m not going to pay for games that I may not be able to attend.
I call BS.
Do you truly believe this is about kneeling? There are no doubt a few fans who will give up (not opt out for a season) their season tickets over dissing the flag, but there are plenty more to take their place. While I would love it if cheese heads were boycotting the team over kneeling, that is not what is happening. They are opting out due to COVID-19.
Well, DUH!
They opted out because of COVID.

Hmm. Whatever could it be. I wonder.
If that’s the case then fans would still watch on TV. The ratings will tell the real story.
I think they’re opting out because of the uncertainty of the season
Same thing with snowboarding this winter.
They cancelled the season mid March and never reopened
Now on their website they are excitedly extolling “Something we’ve Never Done Before!!!”
For the 1st ever we are offering season pass insurance.
If for any reason you are unable to use your pass or only partially use it, we will credit you back your money blah, blah, blah...
There isn’t going to be a season. Me and several friends have already decided not to renew our passes this year.
