Tickets for Packers Family Night, presented by Bellin Health, set for Aug. 7, will go on sale Wednesday, July 14, at 10 a.m. Tickets, which will be only mobile and priced at $10, will be available for purchase solely online through Ticketmaster at Ticketmaster.com.
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. Just as the tickets for Packers games will be only mobile this season, Family Night tickets also will be making the transition to the secure and efficient platform after last season’s successful use during the playoffs.
Family Night attendees who are fully vaccinated will not need to wear masks, but the team asks attendees who are unvaccinated to follow CDC guidelines by wearing masks. Proof of vaccination will not be required. Those considering attending the event are directed to current CDC information which includes descriptions of settings that may be experienced at Family Night, including crowded outdoor and indoor areas, indoor seating areas, and crowded concession and restroom lines (outdoor and indoor).
Now in its 20th year, Family Night will serve as the introduction of the 2021 Green Bay Packers, in-person to a capacity crowd in Lambeau Field and on television to a state-wide audience.
Gates for the event will open at 5:30 p.m., and the team will be introduced on the field at 7:20 p.m.
The format of this year’s Family Night will be a full practice, in order for the team to accomplish its preparation goals for the regular season.
The evening remains family-focused and will feature a game-like atmosphere with use of the video boards, as well as gameday music and a fireworks show at the end of the night. Family Night is a part of the Back to Football campaign, presented by Bellin Health. Other components of the campaign include Packers training camp and Packers preseason games.
A group ticket program (minimum of 50 tickets) will be offered again. The application form is available online at https://pckrs.com/fn2021, in person at the Packers ticket office or can be requested to be sent by calling 920/569-7501. Group ticket orders are restricted to approved groups and organizations, and are to be used for the sole purpose of accommodating a group or organizational outing. Resale is prohibited.
The spectacular Family Night Fireworks will conclude the night.
Parking for the event will be $5, with net proceeds to benefit Meijer Simply Give and its mission to support hunger-relief efforts. Lots will open at 1:30 and will feature activities for families to enjoy, including Wally Walbec and his heavy construction equipment from the Walbec Group for kids to admire. Kemps also will be on hand with a sign-up for a chance to win free ice cream for a year.
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 Packers TV Network stations.
The entire training camp schedule is being finalized and will be released in the near future.
