Negotiations over Aaron Rodgers’ trade between the Jets and Packers are highly anticipated, and once concluded, Packers fans will be relieved. No longer will they need to rely on Joe Rogan podcasts or Pat McAfee interviews to understand their quarterback’s thoughts, or wait for Rodgers to announce his decisions dramatically.
Additionally, Lambeau Field ticket prices are expected to decrease!
Kyle Zorn, brand manager for secondary marketplace TickPick, mentioned to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that ticket prices could initially be about 10 percent lower without Rodgers as quarterback.
Packers fans, you’re welcome!
From the newspaper:
Future ticket prices will largely depend on quarterback Jordan Love’s performance and the Packers’ overall success. Only prolonged poor performance, reminiscent of the 1980s, would seriously reduce demand and prices. “Demand will always be there.
The Packers are consistently in the top 10 every year,” Zorn said. “Last year, they had the third-highest ticket prices, following the Tampa Bay Bucs at No. 2 and the Las Vegas Raiders at No. 1.”
With a season ticket waiting list exceeding 140,000, there are always fans eager to attend games. Additionally, more visiting fans have been attending games at Lambeau Field, which could increase if secondary market prices drop.
Another ticket company executive noted that falling ticket prices could also be attributed to other factors: poor team performance leading more season-ticket holders to sell their seats, thus oversaturating the market and reducing prices, and inflation leaving fans with less disposable income, further driving prices down.
