GREEN BAY – Green Bay Packers Fans looking for tickets to games for the remainder of this season should prepare themselves. Success comes at a price – the Packers and the NFC North are enjoying a lot of success right now – and that price is reflected in the cost of tickets on the secondary market.
According to ESPN Adam SchefterThe NFC North is the first division since realignment in 2002, with all four teams each posting at least four wins in six weeks. It is also the only division in which each team has a winning record.
The Packers’ 34-13 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday was their second straight victory and gave them a 4-2 record, which tied them with the Chicago Bears for third and final place in the division . The Minnesota Vikings are riding a five-game winning streak, and the Bears and Detroit Lions have each won three in a row.
Fans across the division are excited about how their favorites are playing and the Packers still have five of six division games left. Tickets for those games could be expensive, and already are for the next two divisional games on the Packers’ schedule.
How do we calculate secondary market ticket prices?
For our Packers ticket price review, we averaged the lowest ticket prices across 11 secondary market websites: United States event, Play time, Green Bay Ticket Service, SeatGeek, StubHub, BilletIQ, King of tickets, Ticket Master, CheckPick, TicketSmarter And Vivid seats.
Note that ticket brokers may add fees to the prices shown here, so actual costs may be higher.
Here are the secondary market ticket prices as of Monday and our estimates as to why they are where they are.
Note: Green Package ticket holders will have six home games this year. Gold Package ticket holders, many of whom are from the Milwaukee area and southern Wisconsin, will play all three NFC North games at Lambeau Field this season.

Face price range: $132 to $175
-
Cheapest average seat: $220
-
Cheapest average seat last week: $233
-
Cheapest Seat Range: $190 to $279
-
Texans last week: Texans 41, Patriots 21
What is special about this game? With Packers quarterback Jordan Love playing well, demand among ticket holders is steady. The average admission price has dropped $13 over the past week, which is not an unusual amount as a game approaches. The entry average remains $45 above the highest denominated bowl seats.
The forecast is sunny and 69, the kind of weather Packers fans expect in mid-October. Additionally, Matt LaFleur is 34-9 in the regular season at Lambeau Field during his five-plus years as Packers head coach, two reasons why green package ticket holders might want to s hang on to their seats.
The Packers have a two-game winning streak, but the 5-1 Texans, led by young quarterback CJ Stroud, are on a three-game winning streak. For the first time this season, the Texans won by a wide margin, beating New England 41-21 on Sunday. Their other wins were by two, six, four and three points, and their loss was a real shock against the Minnesota Vikings.
The Packers have won the last three games against the Texans and lead the series 4-1-0.

Jaguars last week: Chicago Bears 35, Jaguars 16
What is special about this game? For Packers fans, it will cost a lot more to get to the game than to attend. Jacksonville is in total disarray. The Jaguars lost four straight games to start the season, earned a three-point win over the Indianapolis Colts, then lost last week to the resurgent Bears. There’s not much in this game to get fans excited except that the Packers should win it.
Packers lead the series 5-2-0, winning the last three matches.

Lions last week: Lions 47, Dallas Cowboys 9
What is special about this game? Detroit defeated the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, proving that they remain a team to be reckoned with. The 4-1 Lions trail the Vikings by one game and are a half-game ahead of the Packers and Bears. Lions fans travel well, at least at Lambeau Field, so demand for these tickets will be high. The average entry price is much higher than the most expensive bowl seat, on face value. This is the second of three divisional games for Gold package holders this season, and since it is not a night game, ticket holders willing to sell will demand a good price.
Expect this to be the hottest game in the NFL in Week 9.
The packers lead the series 106-76-7.
November 10 is a bye week for the Packers.

Bears last week: Bears 35, Jaguars 16
What is special about this game? The two winningest teams in NFL history face off in what is shaping up to be a real rivalry, as opposed to the mostly traditional rivalry of the last three decades, at least in terms of Bears winning. Bears quarterback Caleb Williams, the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, is improving week to week and the Bears have a legitimately solid defense. Bears fans are excited and ticket prices reflect it. It was the second most expensive game on the Packers’ schedule on September 2, at $298, but the cost is $69 higher following Chicago’s 4-2 start.
