Toughest Ticket In The NFL
Entering 2006, Lambeau Field has been sold out on a season-ticket basis 45 straight years, for 345 consecutive non-strike games (70 preseason, 261 regular season and 14 postseason), beginning with the 1960 opener vs. the Chicago Bears.
The current waiting list is 71,500. People who were recently awarded season tickets put their names on the waiting list in mid 1970's. Since 1989, the number of names on the list has gone up dramatically, so it most likely will take longer.
Nearly 28,000 Packer season-ticket accounts represent 50 states, as well as Washington D.C., Canada, Japan and Austrailia,. The top five states are Wisconsin (24,896 accounts), Illinois (959), Michigan (492), Minnesota (289) and Florida (184).
The renovation removed about 800 names from the waiting list in 2002, with a further reduction in the coming year.
Also since 2003, 4,000 tickets per game have been made available to Brown County residents (non season-ticket holders).
