The Green Bay Packers will notify some season ticket holders next week that their tickets will not be renewed, primarily those who have not attended any home games for several years. This is an exercise the team has carried out for the last several years to crack down on ticket reselling and ensure tickets go to fans who actively attend games.

Why it matters

The Packers have a long waitlist for season tickets, so reclaiming tickets from inactive holders allows the team to reallocate those seats to fans who will actually attend games. This helps ensure a lively home-field atmosphere at Lambeau Field and prevents tickets from being resold on the secondary market.

The details

The Packers will not disclose how many ticket accounts or total number of tickets were affected since they started this process, but they did say they took about 1,000 people off the season ticket waiting list by issuing the reclaimed tickets. The team can identify patterns of ticket use and sales, and they reserve the right to non-renew tickets 'at any time for any reason, or no reason' according to the season ticket agreement.
