Just got the release from the Green Bay Packers front office stating
the team will be raising ticket prices next season. I’m not a
season-ticket holder but I do get to my share of games each year, went
to five at Lambeau and saw the Packers battle the Steelers at Heinz
Field so I definitely consider myself a fan of the team.
According to the information sent out, the increase will be $8-$11 per ticket depending
on which part of the bowl the tickets are located. Packers’ President Mark Murphy
states in the letter that the increase, the second such increase in the last two years,
is crucial for the team to “stay 
competitive
both on and off the field” and the adjusted rate will bring the team closer to the
NFL average. While I’m paraphrasing, the letter adds that the increase will allow
the team to focus its financial resources toward a more competitive team and not be
in the disadvantage they were.
Now, the majority of Packer tickets will run you about $60 ($69 in 2010) which is
fair and actually ranks 30th of the 32 NFL teams so I have no problem with another
increase. What I don’t understand is why Murphy felt it necessary to explain the team’s
actions. While there is some truth to the reasoning Murphy provides and some will
find the “honesty” refreshing, those in the know realize that the real reason for
the increase is because the team is looking to stockpile some money in case the impending
2011 lockout comes to fruition. And while that makes financial sense and any good
business will proactively address its issues, for once it would be nice to have team
officials come right out and tell us the truth. It will never happen of course because
the team would then be asked to give the added revenue if there is no lockout but
one can always dream.
And the truly WTF statement that made me wonder how dumb they think the fanbase is
was the one stating it would “help the Packers become more competitive both on and
off the field.” I understand the on-field competitive factor, we all want that, more
money means more opportunities to be factor in the free-agent market and to resign
their own players. But being competitive with other NFL teams off the field? Does
that mean that the Packers are looking to upgrade the team stationery or get a new
color printer to keep up with the Cowboys?
Again, I understand that increases in ticket prices are going to happen from time
to time but it sure would be nice to have seen the memo sent out something similar
to this:
“We at the Green Bay Packers regret to inform you that we will be increasing ticket
prices by $8-$11 (most will be $11) per ticket for the 2010 season. We realize we
increased ticket prices less than two years ago but we’re 30th among the 32 NFL teams
and we feel it’s about time the “Lambeau Field Experience” and its storied history
is compensated. We also need to cover our asses in case the uncapped season of 2010
leads to a lockout in 2011 and there are no games being played. At that time, instead
of mass firings, we’ll be able to gorge the salaries of those who don’t get the boot
and survive until cooler heads prevail and football resumes. We’re also looking to
acquire a Darrell Revis-type cornerback in the free agent market and shut-down corners
don’t come cheap. Unless you missed our swiss-cheese-like defensive effort in the
playoff game against the Cardinals, you know that will be money well spent. Soi please
no bitching about the increase, you want to win a Super Bowl don’t you? Go Pack go!”
Now that would be a team statement I could wrap my arms around. Sorry, nodded off
there for a second. What was I talking about?
