Green Bay Packers fans travel well and you can bet your ass they’ll be traveling well to Arizona when the Pack faces the Cardinals next week.
The Cardinals know this and they’re not too pleased about it.
“It’s going to take a little more time to stop seeing waves and just complete sections of the visiting team where you normally see Cardinal fans,” Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said this week. “I don’t give a (s–t) how much you get for you tickets, it ain’t worth it.”
We totally agree with and support Arians’ stance there. We’ve railed against dumbass Packers fans who sell their tickets to Vikings fans and similar such tripe.
At the same time, this is typically the only way for out-of-towners like us to get tickets to see our team. I live in Los Angeles and you know I forked over a bunch of dough to go watch the Packers in that desert hell hole.
A bit over $700 for a pair in the upper deck, as I recall.
And oh yeah, that’s the other thing. These fucking tickets are expensive on the secondary market. There’s obviously a pretty huge demand and that demand is coming from the Wisconsin contingent.
Ticket biz insiders tell me Packers @ Cardinals game on 12/27 is going to look like it's at Lambeau there are so many people traveling.

This should not surprise anyone.
Places like Arizona and San Diego — a couple teams with shitty fans to begin with — always look like Lambeau West when the Packers are in town.
Personally, I’ve found it to be worse in San Diego (worse for them, not us) than Arizona. Qualcomm is usually 90 percent green and gold.
You’ll be lucky if University of Phoenix Stadium is only 50 percent in a couple weeks, Arizona.
Send air fare and tickets please, I’m a little short of funds.
It was pretty disgusting to see so many Cowboy fans in and around Lambeau this weekend. If you sold your tickets fuck you!
It couldn’t have played out any better though! Not just the outcome, but having to see Dez NOT catch it all over again was just priceless!!! Maybe Cowgirl fans will finally think twice before coming to single best stadium in the NFL.
It’s because Arizona stays white out later.
Qualcomm contingency crew checking in. Every time the Pack comes to town.
It;s the only reason I have to watch a game in that shithole of a stadium.
Same here A.
Missed half the 3rd quarter when Packers were here last waiting in line to take a piss….
…. I hate supporting that slime-bag owner …
If I could get 700 dollars for my 127 dollar tickets I would too. Especially with holidays. I’m in St Louis rams tickets are at like 10 dollars.
Does it really matter what fan buys what ticket your team still receives the money for other teams fans. All money on beer, food, and team merchandise all go to the home teams pocket. If people can’t go and there selling there tickets to either team fans for a jacked up price how fucked up as it seems, there just being greedy.
Ram tickets at $10 and the SD crappy stadium, the reason both teams are looking to move to LA. Take heart you Packers fans in LA!!
From Arizona and have watched a Packer game at Qualcomm lol. Lucky bastards back home will see it.
Those tickets are outta my price range …..
I’ll be able to watch from the comfort of my easy chair, unless Chargers game preempts it locally …. Ugh !
Maybe we could pick up one of AZ WR’s for a song?
Also, AR has been known to recruit other team’s players when playing them?
