You nailed it. I sold my preseason tickets on the cheap, to a family member who is also a Packer fan.

Preseason is horrible. The games don’t matter so I can’t get riled up for them. Then I sit there, bored, hoping nobody gets hurt, and paying regular season prices all the while.

I’ll probably go to the next preseason game just to hone the grill skills.

It’s ridiculous that any team be ripped for not selling out a preseason game. Regardless of opponent.

” NEWS FLASH ” You are NOT that good an BRETT FARVE is gone. The people in San Diego will buy tickets to see The Dallas Cowboys… You know…. America’s Team but Greenbay aint that exciting in San Diego…. Ps….. Hold the cheese

Really? Of all the things to rip on the Packers for, you pick their inability to sell out a 2,000-mile-away road preseason game in a poor football town earlier than they did? This team just sold out Lambeau Field for a scrimmage – a glorified practice! Pardon Packer fans for not ponying up the dough to fly four hours to watch Aaron Rodgers play one series in a meaningless game. What a bunch of frontrunners.

I wonder if any of the Florida teams will be able to do the same?

1. Spanos family is too cheap to pay for those tickets
2. Local supporters wont dish out for preseason
3. The only suckers who have preseason tickets are people who pay for season tickets
4. Packers fanbase is stupid enough to pay for tickets in another stadium they wont even fill

4 is my theory on the matter, GO PACK GO!

Where are you charger fans, support your team or else they’re gonna move to LA and change the name

For Indy to package that with a reg. season game totally blows!

Meaningless pre-season game, but historic event.

I don’t care if it’s preseason.

I noticed the Colts start selling regular season single game tickets tomorrow morning. I then noticed that the Colts are only packaging their Packers home regular season game single ticket with their Bengals pre-season game. What a sham. because I’m part of the world’s greatest fan base I get shafted with a doubled price ticket compare to their other 7 home dates. Pathetic Indianapolis.
