The Green Bay Packers are warning season ticket holders that if they do not attend home games, their tickets may not be renewed for the next season. The team says this policy, which they have implemented for several years, is aimed at maintaining the team's famous home-field advantage at Lambeau Field. Packers officials say they can track ticket usage and will target fans who repeatedly resell their tickets on secondary markets instead of attending games.
Why it matters
The Packers' policy is controversial, as some long-time season ticket holders feel they are being unfairly targeted, even if they have legitimate reasons for not being able to attend games. The team says it wants to ensure Lambeau Field is filled with passionate Packers fans, not just ticket resellers, to maintain the team's home-field advantage.
The details
The Packers will soon notify some season ticket holders that their tickets will not be renewed for the 2026 season. This primarily affects fans who have not attended any home games for several years. The team says it has taken about 1,000 people off the season ticket waiting list by reclaiming tickets from inactive holders. While the Packers won't discuss individual cases, some fans have shared their frustration at losing tickets they've held for decades, even when they had legitimate reasons for not attending, such as military service or family health issues.
- The Packers will send information to ticket holders on 2026 ticket prices and notify some fans that their tickets will not be renewed next week.
- The Packers have carried out this policy for the last several years.

What they’re saying
“If you are a season ticket holder and your sole intent is to sell these tickets, you shouldn't be a season ticket holder. We want our fans to know homefield advantage is really important to us.”
— Aaron Popkey, Director of Public Affairs
“Season ticket holders who repeatedly resell their season tickets, whether on the secondary market or through ticket brokers (directly or indirectly), may have their renewal ability impacted without further warning.”
— Green Bay Packers
What’s next
The Packers will make final decisions on which season ticket holders will not have their tickets renewed for the 2026 season.
The takeaway
The Packers' policy highlights the tension between maintaining a passionate home-field advantage and accommodating the needs of long-time season ticket holders. While the team aims to fill Lambeau Field with devoted fans, some fans feel unfairly targeted, even when they have legitimate reasons for not attending games.
