Although I'm not a Green Bay Packers season ticket holder, I like to think I know a thing or two about Green Bay Packers tickets. A question that I hear a lot is, "What is the difference between the green package and the gold package?" Some of you may not have ever heard those terms used in regards to Packers tickets. Others of you might notice on your Green Bay Packers schedule that a few of the games are denoted as gold package games. I'm going to answer your questions for once and for all and tell you the difference between the green package and the gold package. Remember back to when the Green Bay Packers played their home games at both Lambeau Field and County Stadium? Fans could buy season tickets to either the Lambeau Field games or the County Stadium games. The Packers played one preseason game and two regular season games at County Stadium, the rest were played at Lambeau Field. In the mid-1990s, the Packers decided to play all of their home games at Lambeau Field. To keep the County Stadium ticket holders happy, they were still given tickets for one preseason game and two regular season games. Those tickets are known as the gold package. The remaining games are for Lambeau Field ticket holders, known as the green package. Another way to think of it is that the gold package is for Milwaukee season ticket holders and the green package is for Green Bay ticket holders. The green vs. gold packages don't make much of a difference unless you are driving to Green Bay from Milwaukee for a gold package game--you might notice heavier traffic than normal.
