Was lucky enough to have tickets for the Super Bowl win in New Orleans. Don't remember what they cost, but it was a bunch. Worth every dollar though.

I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
A thundercloud
They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen -
I'm with gex. I've never paid more than face for my tix. I usually only go to one game a year. too long of a drive and I've got a better view from my couch.Comment

Every Packer fan needs to go to at least one Packer game in his(her) lifetime.Originally posted by arcilite
If you can't go to a game, at least go to Lambeau and take a tour of the Stadium.
At a family reunion in Sheboygan last summer, I took my wife and daughters to Lambeau. Months in advance of the reunion, the girls scoffed at the idea of going to Lambeau.
In the spring, my college aged daughter(at Pacific Lutheran) shared at a party that she was going to Wisconsin for a family reunion but did not want to travel up to Lambeau Field. Unfortunately for her, the party had about half a dozen of PLU's football players(Division III). They immediately crowded around her and urged her to go.
One player even grabbed her cell phone and called me. "Hey, Mr. G. This is Greg. You remember me, right? I'm the accounting major at PLU who plays left guard. Your daughter says she doesn't want to go to Lambeau this summer. Take me, instead! I promise not to eat so much this time!"
(My daughter brought him and several classmates home one time. Like a lot of 20 year old offensive linemen, the guy ate like a starving Belgian Draft horse) 
Driving into Green Bay they were shocked at how small a city Green Bay turned out to be. I told the girls, "Yep, not only is Green Bay about 1/5th the size of Portland, it is even smaller than Salem and Eugene. Yet it has the most storied franchise in the NFL."
The tour was impressive(I had done it before at the PR poster's game with MJZiggy and Tarlam). The girls even shopped for a number of items to take home to their friends. My Raiders fan daughter(damn West Coast influence) even bought herself a hoodie with "Lambeau Field" on it.
So go to a game, or at least, go to Lambeau some day.Comment

And on the tour you get to do something you can't do on game day - walking out of the tunnel. Talk about goosebumps.Comment

What adds to the goosebumps is their playing an audio tape of the crowd cheering you!Originally posted by Scott Campbell

My in-laws have Gold package season tickets. So I get to go to one game for free every year. They "won" the playoff lottery so we got to go to the Packer/Seahag game two years ago. I had to pay my in-laws face value for those tickets.
My wife, before she met me, got to go to the Packer/Broncos Superbowl in San Diego when the family "won" the lottery again.
On a side note, my brother in-law is moving to N. Carolina so that will get me to one more game every other year.But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

Actual, it's kind of a weird dynamic. My in-laws have 3 kids. Each kid gets one game if they want it. We rotate years on picking games. My brother in-law is a huge Packer fan but my sister in-law isn't. She likes the Pack but doesn't really care. She grabs her game because she doesn't want to feel left out.Originally posted by hoosierAnyone else in the family you can relocate?Originally posted by ThunderDan
So, my wife and I try to play the "we will take the tickets if no one wants them " game and then my sister in-law doesn't want her yearly game because we aren't interested.
With the brother in-law gone we will get an extra game every other year and if we play our cards right we might get all three games every year.
But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

Good, reverse psychology works with the sister-in-law. It sounds like the brother-in-law, on the other hand, is going to require something more direct, an offer he can't refuse.Originally posted by ThunderDanActual, it's kind of a weird dynamic.

My 2 sons and I are doing a pilgrimage this fall to a Brewer game at Miller park on a Friday night against Houston and a Packers Sunday at Lambeau against the Bungals.
None of us have ever been to Miller Park. Everytime we have come up to Wisconsin to visit relatives, our schedule has been so tight we haven't been able to make a game.
I haven't been to Lambeau since the Packers/Giants game where Dan Devine broke his leg...and they lost 42-40. My oldest son was at a game before we moved to Atlanta in '95. My youngest son has never been to a game but he was just up in Green Bay on business and was given the tour along with coming out of the tunnel with the crowd cheering.
We paid about $225 per ticket for the Bungals game. Seats are about the 10 yard line.My house is in Georgia but Wisconsin is my home.Comment

I agree Scott........that really is a 'goosebumps' moment.Originally posted by Scott Campbell
For the Bear PR game in 2007 I paid close to $300 (x2)......we were 4 rows up about the 5-10 yard line near the tunnel.
'Nice clip board Rex', spelled out by the UW tuba players helped make the loss bearable (no pun intended)Comment
