The Green Bay Packers are raising preseason and regular season ticket prices in 2025 — and getting some more fans off the season ticket waiting list.
Stadium bowl tickets will rise between $3 and $11 per preseason game and between $7 and $21 per regular season game. Variable pricing will be used again for preseason and regular-season games.
• South end zone, 700 level: $69 preseason, $139 regular season
• End zone: $73 preseason, $146 regular season
• South end zone, 600 level: $77 preseason, $152 regular season
• End zone to 20-yard line: $85 preseason, $169 regular season
• Between 20-yard lines: $99 preseason, $196 regular season
Packers CEO/president Mark Murphy said those prices should put Lambeau Field near the middle of NFL ticket prices.
Also this year, the Packers exercised their non-renewal option to cancel the season tickets of holders who sold 100% of their tickets for multiple years, making those season tickets available to fans on the waiting list.
Invoices are being sent out to ticket holders. Payments are due by March 28.
Ticket holders not being renewed will receive letters with additional information.
