This morning on Mike & Mike they were talking about some play-off games not selling out yet. Mike Golic mentioned that the MEDIAN price of tickets at Lambeau is $238.00 per ticket.
Multiply that times the 80,000 seats and you can see the shareholders are making some play-off money!
Factor in beverages, concessions, programs, parking and you understand why few NFL teams ever are for sale.
Now I understand why the Zigmeister needed the helping hand on the stadium. 
The players can (and can certainly afford to) build their own stadium and keep all the profits as far as I am concerned.
Face value seats for Green Bay’s game this week in lower level are $102.00 – $134.00 with higher prices in club & box seats.
That’s still a killing.
Just remember revenue sharing. Green Bay gets next to nothing from ticket sales in a Play-off Game, the $20 million or whatever it actually is gets shared among all teams.
And there’s nothing amateurish about the NFL playoffs. Well, nothing except for the players’ salaries and the fact that teams don’t get a lot of front-end money for their postseason success. The money eventually spreads to all corners of the NFL through its lucrative television deal and revenue-sharing, but a team like the Green Bay Packers, for instance, could make a run to the Super Bowl and wind up losing money in the short term.
The financial benefit of reaching the playoffs is generally felt in subsequent seasons in the form of increased ticket sales and rights fees for marketing partnerships for franchises, and in individual sponsorship opportunities and increased free-agent value for players. But in terms of immediate impact, the NFL playoffs reward teams and players with less income than any of the major U.S. sports. That’s what happens when you have a limited number of playoff games.
NFL teams split ticket revenue during the regular season, with the home team keeping one-third of the gate. That’s not the case in the playoffs, when all of the ticket revenue goes into a pool shared equally by teams. That leaves the home team with only the earnings created by stadium sales — concessions and merchandise.
The league rewards teams that win in the wild-card round with $590,000 if they lose and $650,000 if they win. In the divisional round, each team gets $650,000 to cover expenses, that jumps to $1 Million for the conference championship game. The Super Bowl winner gets $4.1 million and the losing team $2.9 Million
Packer shareholders do not get any money back from the team. All profits go back into the team. That makes then unique in all the pro franchises. Also they have the best owners in all the NFL.

You guys are monkeybuttizing the term shareholder, unless it is legal to sell your share.

I’ll be # 2.
Agree might not be able to sell, but it is a share and I can go to share holder meeting which I won’t because I can’t vote… I don’t think.
It is still a very unique way of rasing funds for additons and such without directly getting it from Tax payers.
Just my $.02.
Not going to be easy, but Go Pack!!!
Shareholder….You are killing me.
Donator. You are a donator. Not a real shareholder.

You are assuming the Median price and the Mean (Average) price are the same, which may not be true. The Median is the middle number in a set of numbers. If ticket prices were $20, 30, 40, 500, and 1000, the Median would be $40, but the Mean would be $318 (if all ticket prices had the same number or seats.)
Either way, the income is rather large I would imagine.

At least some shareholders benefit from their donation, more than I can say for how the queens stadium is getting subsidized… anybody know how much the cost will be on a per actual taxpayer basis yet ??? 
Wife and I each have one share that our son gave us for Christmas the last time they sold them.
So 2 for us.
My wife and I both got shares as a wedding gift from my former co-workers. Beats the heck out of additional china.
I think that makes us #5 and #6. 
#7 here then. Got mine as a Christmas gift in 2011. Someday I’ll go to the Annual Meeting and actually vote since I am a share holder, not just a donator. I pity all the Viking fans who have to donate tax dollars to build Ziggy World.

The price of cigarettes went up about $1.50 a pack for the stadium… (X) smokers in the state (X) % of packs per day, don’t forget to add that in to the calculations.
