Favre sells out Lambeau for Hall of Fame ceremony

Brett Favre has sold out Lambeau Field again.

The Green Bay Packers sold about 67,000 tickets to view Favre's induction into the Packers Hall of Fame in July.

The tickets are to view the July 18 ceremony on the TundraVision video scoreboards in Lambeau Field. Favre is scheduled to make an appearance in the bowl before the dinner, which is sold out.

Tickets were $4 each with a limit of eight per order. Tickets went on sale at 10 a.m. Tuesday and sold out by 6 p.m.

Favre is a shoo-in to the Pro Football Hall of Fame when he becomes eligible in 2016. He is the NFL's all-time leader in passing yards and interceptions, and with Bart Starr and Aaron Rodgers is one of the Packers' greatest quarterbacks.

The induction ceremony, which will feature the retirement of No. 4 by the Packers organization, also will be carried live by the Packers TV Network and NFL Network as well as streamed live on packers.com.

Net proceeds from the ticket sale go to the Favre 4 Hope charitable foundation.
