Tickets are now on sale for ‘Packers Family Night, presented by Bellin Health,’ which is set for Saturday, Aug. 3. Now in its 23rd year, ‘Family Night’ will serve as the introduction of the 2024 Green Bay Packers, in-person to a capacity crowd in Lambeau Field and on television to a state-wide audience.
Doors for the event will open at 5:30 p.m., with the team taking the field for warmups at 7 p.m. and practice beginning at 7:30.
The format of this year’s Family Night will once again be a full practice, in order for the team to accomplish its preparation goals for the regular season.
Tickets are mobile only and priced at $10, available for purchase solely online through Ticketmaster at pckrs.com/24familynight. New this year, fans must purchase a mobile parking pass in advance to park in the Lambeau Field parking lots for Family Night. Mobile parking passes are available at checkout when purchasing tickets for Family Night via Ticketmaster and the parking pass can be added to a mobile device’s digital wallet, similar to mobile tickets.
Only one mobile parking pass per transaction may be purchased. Drivers will be permitted into the lot once they show the attendant their parking pass on their mobile device. Mobile parking passes are $5, with net proceeds to benefit Meijer’s Simply Give program and its mission to feed hungry families through local food pantry partners, including Paul’s Pantry, the Salvation Army of Green Bay and the Giving Tree.
There will be a limit of 10 tickets per purchase during the first day of ticket sales. All individuals, regardless of age, require a ticket for admittance.
The evening remains family-focused and will feature a game-like atmosphere, featuring a thunderstick giveaway courtesy of Bellin Health, Pick ‘n Save and Metro Market, Sargento and Walbec Group, use of the video boards featuring promotions by Scheels, TDS and other partners, gameday music and a fireworks show presented by Ticketmaster at the end of the night. New this year, families attending can look forward to more kid-favorite food items at select concession stands, with specific menu items and their locations to be announced as the event approaches.
In case of inclement weather, no refunds will be issued unless all stadium activities – from 5:30 p.m. until the end of the fireworks show – are canceled.
For fans not attending the event, a statewide telecast will be available on various local and Packers TV Network stations. The stations broadcasting the event include WACY-TV (Channel 32) in Green Bay and WPXE-TV (Channel 55) in Milwaukee, as well as WAOW-TV in Wausau, WKOW-TV in Madison, WXOW-TV in La Crosse, WQOW-TV in Eau Claire, KQDS-TV in Duluth-Superior and ELUC-TV in Escanaba-Marquette. The event will also be televised on KWWL-TV and WHBF-TV in Iowa; KATN-TV, KYUR-TV and KJUD-TV in Alaska; and KSFY-TV in Sioux Falls, SD.
The entire training camp schedule is available at packers.com/training-camp/practice-schedule.
