On Ticket King, tickets for Packers/Bears are about $200.00 more expensive than for Jets/Steelers.

sold "their entire stock of tickets." it couldn't have been very many.

Does anybody know about this stuff? If they sold 40,000 tickets in one minute with a maximum of 4 tickets--whatever it the limit is--the servers would need to handle about 10,000 transactions in a minute. Plus they would need to respond to many thousands more that requested after the sold out sign went up. Are those sorts of numbers a piece of cake for the hardware?

One minute - says who!? How do bears know if a minute has passed anyway??? They're animals!

[gbgary]

season ticket holders get first dibs, then sponsers and the like, the nfl get some. i'd be surprised if it was more than 5k...maybe 10k.

I'd guess there was some Chicago-style funny stuff going on with those ticket sales. Those babies are in high demand.

Buy early and buy often.

I just want everyone to know - particularly you, Bretsky - that I will NOT be attending this game.

This alone gives the Pack a chance to win.
