$300 to Watch Brett Favre Play Football

Will Brett Favre play for the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings?

This is a big question that many ticket brokers are banking on as most indications say that he will play for the Minnesota Vikings in 2009. As training camps get closer to starting and ticket sales start, ticket brokers are snatching up tickets for the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings games. In some cases, tickets for the game have already been set to over $300.

The bigger question is, Favre hasn’t even signed with the Vikings and isn’t expected to until he has recovered from shoulder surgery. The recover time for the surgery is 6-8 weeks and that puts the recovery time at about Mid to Late July. If he doesn’t have any pain in the shoulder, then he may very well sign with the Vikings. The team has said they will welcome him. Gus Ferrotte and Tavaris Jackson are listed as the current quarterbacks on the team. Ferrotte is a warrior but has taken a beating and Jackson suffers from fumblitis. Having Brett Favre on the team will definitely bring in the revenue for the Vikings and add some stardom to the team.

Stub Hub, where fans can buy and sell tickets, prices have been starting at $308 and some went up to $15,883 for a suite.

Normally, the price of a Packers home game against the Bears or
Vikings often is set in the $175 to $185 range. The second-highest starting price for any other Packers home game in 2009 is $177, for the showdown against the Bears in the season opener on Sept. 13.
