Invoices reflect regular-season prices; those selected for preseason will receive refund

GREEN BAY — The Green Bay Packers this week are mailing invoices to Brown County residents who have been selected to purchase tickets to a 2021 Packers game. All invoices will reflect regular-season pricing for seats, with each ticket priced at $118. Invoices are due by April 16, 2021.

Residents who pay for tickets will receive notification in June of the game tickets they will receive. The tickets are only available as Mobile Tickets, which must be accessed on the ticket holders’ smartphones. The ticket’s information is scanned at the gate for entry, allowing phones to serve as a replacement for paper tickets. Instructions for how to use Mobile Tickets will be provided to residents selected to purchase tickets.

To help enhance the Packers’ home field advantage and ensure that Packers fans are sitting in the designated seats each game, the tickets are not available for resale on secondary ticket marketplaces, although they may be transferred digitally to other fans.

Should the COVID-19 pandemic prevent Lambeau Field from hosting fans at full capacity, the Packers will initiate refunds similar to the process in 2020, and Brown County residents chosen in the ticket drawing who paid for the tickets will receive a refund. If fans are hosted at full capacity, refunds will not be issued.

If the residents chosen in the first drawing do not purchase all available tickets, a second drawing may be held, and a second round of invoices will be sent to the additional selected residents.

As was the case during recent seasons, if a 2019-selected resident who received tickets for a preseason game was selected again to be able to purchase tickets in 2021, he or she will be guaranteed tickets to a regular-season contest. Those selected for a preseason game will receive a refund of the $50 difference between the regular-season price and the preseason price. To expedite the refund, fans are encouraged to pay the invoice with a credit card.

Residents may pay for their tickets online using the Packers’ Ticketmaster system via packers.com. Instructions for the online payment method were sent to residents with the ticket invoices. Invoices also can be paid by credit card or check at the Packers’ ticket office at Lambeau Field from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Cash will not be accepted.

Through the Brown County Ticket Drawing program, 2,500 tickets for each home game are made available for Brown County residents to purchase every season. The program, which has been in place since 2003, allows eligible residents of Brown County to sign up for the opportunity to purchase up to four face value tickets to a single Packers game each season. Registrations for the program are accepted year-round, and new residents or those who have not signed up for the program in the past are encouraged to sign up through the online system.

To sign up, fans can visit packers.com/browncounty and submit their name, address, phone number and email. Their name and address within Brown County will be verified by the Packers ticket office prior to the drawing each March. Residents may also sign up for the program by visiting the Packers ticket office, Lambeau Field Atrium guest services desk or Packers Pro Shop and presenting a photo ID, as well as a second item to verify residency such as a utility bill or bank statement. Current season ticket holders and their spouses are not eligible.

The drawing is held each March, and randomly selects residents’ names for one home game (either preseason or regular-season). Once residents sign up for the program, they do not need to re-submit their name each year; those on the list will remain on the list until their address changes or they request removal from the list.
