"have to"? No. But if I lived close enough, I probably would, just to get that extra time inside Mecca...

I don't know, I never really cared much for that socialistic "everyone owns the packers" thing....I'd rather buy season tickets than have to wait literally years for my "chance" to get them.

just to get that extra time inside Mecca...

Wasn't it said that NFL fandom was a religion?

Its more college football here in SEC land.

KL, I'm not seeing how your comment about team ownership is related to your comment on season tickets. Or maybe it's just that you might not be aware that with the Packers the two are completely unrelated. Being a Packers owner does not make you a season ticket holder, or get you any advantage when it comes to acquiring tickets. The season ticket wait list is full of both owners and non-owners alike. The only real benefits provided to season ticket holders are a) the right to attend the annual shareholders meeting, b) the right to make purchases from the shareholders-only section of the Packers Pro Shop, and c) the right to go on internet message boards and brag that you own an NFL team. :grin:



As far as the ownership being "socialistic"--I, too, dislike how much the media plays to that angle, but I have no problem with the fact that that's the way it is, simply because that structure was born out of business necessity at the time it was adopted, and not due to any "socialistic" notions. It's really no different than any other company raising capital by selling shares in ownership--with the exception that there's no way to sell the shares for further profit. But everyone who became a shareholder entered into that with full knowledge of the conditions, so once again, I have no issues with it.



I, too, would "rather buy season tickets than have to wait literally years for my 'chance' to get them." So would thousands of others--hence the season ticket waiting list. But that has absolutely nothing to do with the ownership structure. Other teams, with more "traditional" ownership structures, also have season ticket waiting lists.



About the only way to get tickets easier than most members of the public is to move to Brown County. When they did the stadium renovation a few years ago, part of the agreement was that a certain number of seats in the expanded seating area (I think around 5000) were turned into single-game (not season ticket) seats which are sold to Brown County residents via an annual lottery.

And so I have been thusly informed by someone in the Know, and what do you know, my media-based education on the subject was wrong. TV never lies! :smack:

Not worth it in my opinion but some in the world like to waste money. I could live comfortably for the rest of my life on that much money.
