Green Bay Packers season ticket holders received a message today from Packers President / CEO Mark Murphy to notify them of the adjustments needed to wait this season as the COVID-19 pandemic continues.
Although the organization remains optimistic, there is a possibility that Lambeau Field may not be hosting fans for the games this season.
Right now, the team is preparing for fans to assist with new policies and security measures to allow for adequate social distancing, which will require the stadium seating capacity to be significantly reduced. Facial covers will also be required, and other necessary precautions will be taken. As a result, the special experience that fans are used to at Lambeau Field will look and feel very different.
Due to the reduced capacity in case fans can attend games, the organization cannot guarantee that ticket holders in the general bowl and club seats can reserve tickets. Due to reduced capacity, the team is also removing Green and Gold package designations, as well as suspending the Brown County Ticket Giveaway program, for this season. Brown County residents who paid for tickets through the program this year will receive an automatic refund. Suite owners will receive separate specific information related to their suite.
As preparations continue and the full plan has yet to be finalized, the letter asked season ticket holders to begin considering their options for this season. In the near future, season ticket holders will be asked to complete a questionnaire asking if they want “opt in” to be included in the process for a chance to book tickets this year. Those who choose to participate will be asked additional questions and given further instructions; This opportunity is exclusive to season ticket holders at this time.
Those who choose “opt out” of the opportunity to obtain tickets will decide whether the 2020 payment will be refunded in full or credited to 2021. Your STH status and existing seats and ticket package will remain in place for next season.
Although season ticket holders and fans may have questions right now, the organization is asking for patience as details are finalized. At this point no action is required from the subscribers.; Packers will provide full information on next steps soon.
The Packers plan to make the necessary adjustments to conduct games and other events in the safest manner possible in the best interest of fans, players and team and league personnel. All preparations are made with the latest advice from medical and public health officials and are subject to change.
