GREEN BAY – The Green Bay Packers are raising season tickets prices for the 2020 season from $1 to $7.

All seats in the lower bowl will cost $6 to $7 more for regular-season games. Seats in the south end zone are $1 more. With the increases, ticket prices now range from $118 to $149 for regular-season games.

"The pricing increase continues our policy of keeping our prices just below the average ticket price in the NFL," Packers President and CEO Mark Murphy said in a release.

This marks the 11th consecutive season prices increased. Ticket prices were not raised from 2007 through 2009 and the Packers' average ticket price fell to near the bottom of the NFL. Other NFL teams were not pleased, reasoning that because the Packers sell out every game and have a waiting list of about 135,000, they should charge more. Visiting teams receive a share of ticket revenue.

"We feel this continues to provide an excellent value for the gameday experience at Lambeau Field, while also supporting our partner NFL teams through shared revenue," Murphy said.

Green package ticket holders, who get one pre-season and six regular-season games will pay between $766 and $924 per seat. Gold package holders, who get one preseason and two regular-season games, will pay between $294 and $372.

The Packers have home games against division rivals Chicago, Detroit and Minnesota, plus games against Atlanta, Carolina, Jacksonville, Tennessee and Philadelphia. Road games will be against the division opponents plus New Orleans, Tampa Bay, Houston, Indianapolis and San Francisco.

The schedule, with dates and game times, will be released by the NFL in April.

Season-ticket holders can lock in lower-cost wild-card playoff tickets should the Packers host a wild-card game at Lambeau Field, and have first refusal of tickets for any other playoff games under the "Pay as We Play" option. Fans will not be charged for those tickets unless the team plays.

Prices for a wild-card game will range from $106-$134, which is less than regular-season games, but season ticket holders have to commit to buying the tickets in advance.

Gold package ticket holders can commit to playoff tickets when they pay for season tickets, although Green package ticket holders will continue to have first crack, with Gold package holders getting unclaimed seats.

Ticket holders are asked to register for playoff tickets as early as possible, but by Aug.14 at the latest. They can do so online. Information is available with invoices and brochures, which were mailed to season ticket holders on Thursday.

Paper tickets still will be sent to all season-ticket holders in July, and if they sell those seats, they can give the paper tickets to the buyers. Otherwise, all tickets must be forwarded electronically.

Tickets forwarded electronically to others or sold via Ticketmaster (NFL Exchange) now will be scanned on smartphones as the only way to enter the stadium. A number of teams have adopted the mobile ticket option to varying degrees. The Packers say mobile tickets reduce counterfeit tickets.

Payment for packages must be made by March 31.

Premium seat prices, such as club seats and suites, are set per client contracts. Information regarding those prices will be mailed to premium seat ticket holders in the next week.
