Q's & A's

HOW DO I GET MY GAME TICKETS?
Your game tickets will be sent to you via the GREEN BAY PACKERS APP on  your phone. This will be done a few days before the game. If you are traveling with several others in your party, we have already requested your seats together at Lambeau Stadium.
HOW DO I GET MY TAILGATE PARTY TICKETS?
Tailgate party tickets are wristbands. For those of you who ordered them, they will be passed out to you on the bus the morning of the game. We are doing this because if you lose your tailgate tickets they are non-refundable or replaceable. This way, you get your wristband the day you use it.
WILL WE STOP FOR LUNCH ON THE WAY TO GREEN BAY?
Yes!
We have pre-arranged a lunch stop at Bowl Winkles in Colby, WI, and they will have lunch ready for our group. 

IMPORTANT:
You will have to reserve what you want to eat by Friday, October 20, so the restaurant can place the food order.
This will ensure the restaurant will have everyone's orders upon arrival and the food will be hot and ready to go.

Below is the information:
