Packers 'Family Night' Tickets Sell Out

06/19/2006

All available tickets for the sixth 'Packers Family Night, Presented by FOX 11' were sold out as of this morning.

This year's event, which will take place Saturday, Aug. 5, at Lambeau Field, will mark the third time the Packers sold every available seat in the stadium bowl.

After the 2005 event sold out in three hours, the organization this year implemented a limit of eight tickets per purchase to allow more fans to have the chance to make a transaction.

"We're pleased with the way ticket sales went this weekend," said Mark Wagner, the Packers' director of ticket operations. "After the quick sellout last year, we gathered information and listened to the fans' concerns about the process and made the change. We're confident more fans had the opportunity to purchase tickets for this year's event and we received a lot of positive feedback from fans during the process."

A popular summer attraction, the event drew 62,492 in 2005, 60,217 in 2004, 48,898 in 2001, 50,240 in 2000 and 46,420 in 1999. 'Family Night' did not take place for two years (2002-03) during Lambeau Field's redevelopment.

The event will be televised in Green Bay on WLUK-TV FOX 11, as well as on WITI-TV in Milwaukee, WMSN-TV in Madison, WFXS in Wausau and WLAX in La Crosse. The telecast will be hosted by Drew Smith and other members of the FOX 11 sports and news staffs.
