Green Bay has a large national group of bandwagoners. Give them 10 straight non-playoff years and there would be 15K empty seats at Shambeau Field on a weekly basis. Their holier than thou, St. Vincent, Titletown crap underlines their arrogance. They are Laker Fans North.
You know prices are **CENSORED**ed up when Green Bay isn't selling out.
The smallest market of any team? Now I've heard it all!
Yea smallest market with probably the highest wait list, you stupid fuck.
Under 7500 tickets remain for the Pack home game. Selling like hot cakes I tell ya: http://www.packers.com/news-and-events/article-1/Packers-49ers-playoff-tickets-remain-available-/4225c958-3d5a-4b19-a707-9f67a6992669
Projected windchill of -30 degrees. I'd pass. I wouldn't want to watch the birth of Jesus in that kind of weather.
Comment on another site captured this perfectly. """Weird that people don’t want to shell out 250 dollars a ticket, 50 dollars on parking, and 30 dollars on food to watch the game in 0 degree weather when it costs roughly the price of a 12 pack to watch the game at home"""Getting really sick of the NFL's garbage the last couple of years.
3 games still facing blackouts. Still 5,000 tickets available in Green Bay. Colts still have 3500+ tickets available. Colts tickets as low as $56. Packers as low as $102. Extensions granted by the NFLI don't want to here any excuses. When the Bucs struggled with sell outs it was because the fans supposedly suck. Where is the national lambasting of the fans of these teams? http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-01-02/nfl-playoff-games-threatened-by-local-tv-blackout-in-first-round.html

This is a HUGE part of the reason. Even die hard fans will have a tough time in those temps. It isn't going to be pleasant.
I hate to admit, I'm loving this. I live just over an hour from Lambeau and I have heard so much crap from Packer fans about their waiting list and how they support their team. Truth is, there is a season tickets waiting list, but you can always go to a game because there is always a bunch of people outside the stadium willing to sell their tickets for face value. All that fan support crap is way overblown.
Exactly, 100K waiting list and you can't sell out? Did they know that the temperature was going to be -30 when the season ticket holders didn't buy their playoff tickets a month ago?
I'm 30 minutes from Lambeau, and anything negative that strikes out against the Packers is a good thing in my book.If that game is blacked out, the s#!$ storm to follow will be epic.lol
It can be pretty "unpleasant" at RayJay with the heat and the humidity and no one wanted to listen to that excuse about the Buc fans
Seems like Bucs fans are the trailblazers for the rest of the league. Our fans put their foot down on the NFL playoff ticket price gauging several years ago. It just takes a few more years for guilt to get kicked in the balls by fans wallets up in the northern states.
Looks like with enough extensions the games may sell out. Still tix available for Green Bay and Cincy though. http://www.businessweek.com/news/2014-01-02/nfl-playoff-games-threatened-by-local-tv-blackout-in-first-round
Looks like sponsors bought up the remaining tickets in Green Bay, Cincy, and Indy. It's a good thing this did not happen in Tampa. ESPN would have blasted the Bucs fans. Look at the video on the link below and ESPN even went as far as saying Christmas just passed and money might be tight with some fans. REALLY!! http://espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs/2013/story/_/id/10236672/2013-nfl-playoffs-indianapolis-colts-green-bay-packers-get-sellout-cincinnati-bengals-wait

I don't even want to watch the vid. Double standard makes me sick
