Game Day Guide

Last updated

Carolina comes to Lambeau Field on Thursday, Oct. 29, for a 7:15 p.m. CDT kickoff, and the main decision for Packers fans is how they want to get in and out of the stadium district. Green Bay Metro’s game-day buses are the cleanest no-parking option: they start five hours before kickoff, keep running for about three hours after the game, and leave Lambeau every 30 minutes. If you’re driving, plan around sold-out season parking areas, reserveable off-site lots, and the stadium’s rideshare pickup point on the west side of the Lambeau area. This game also has a confirmed halftime ceremony honoring Bob Harlan, so expect a little more in-stadium programming than a standard Thursday night. Prime Video carries the game; Packers Radio Network carries the radio call. View Game Day GuideHide Game Day Guide

Getting There

  • Green Bay Metro game-day buses

    Best for fans who want to avoid parking and have a predictable postgame exit.

    The city says Packers home games use the Game Day routes page. The Packers say the 2026 season includes four free gameday bus routes for home games; buses begin five hours before kickoff, run for about three hours after the game, and leave Lambeau Field every 30 minutes.

    Transportation details

  • Rideshare pickup after the game

    Good if you want a simple pickup plan and are willing to walk to the designated spot after the game.

    The Packers direct postgame rideshare pickup to the corner of Mike McCarthy Way and Holmgren Way. They say fans should exit on the east and south sides of the stadium via the American Family, Oneida Nation or Potawatomi Sportsbook gates.

    Transportation details

  • Rideshare drop-off

    Works for arriving fans who want a direct drop-off near the stadium and do not need to park.

    The team recommends drop-off at the corner of Shadow Ln and Frank St, with police assistance crossing into the parking lot. The Packers say that area is not a postgame pickup zone because it becomes too congested.

    Transportation details

Parking

  • Sold-out Lambeau-operated season parking lots

    The Packers say all parking spaces in the lots surrounding Lambeau Field are sold out to season parking pass holders.

    Parking details

  • PMI reserveable individual-game parking

    For fans without season parking, the Packers point to PMI for nearby lots that can be reserved on an individual-game basis. The same page says PMI also offers bus and RV parking nearby.

    Parking details

  • Lot 15 limited individual parking passes

    The Packers say a limited amount of individual parking passes in Lot 15 are available for pre-purchase. Lot 15 is in Titletown and tailgating is not permitted there.

    Parking details

  • Accessible first-come, cashless parking

    Non-reserved accessible parking is available first-come, first-served in Lot 4 off Lombardi Avenue and Lot 7 off Valley View Road. The Packers describe availability as limited.

Interactive price observations

Ticket price data is loading. If it is unavailable, use the game information and ticket-buying guide on this page.

Supporting ticket information

Provider links and disclosure

Disclosure: Packers Fan Zone may earn a commission from purchases made through links specifically marked “Affiliate link”. This does not affect how prices are ordered. Packers Fan Zone does not sell tickets. Read the full site disclosure.

Price snapshots can change at any time and may not include taxes or fees. Confirm availability and the final checkout total with the ticket provider.

Sources and marketplaces covered

Ticketmaster is currently represented through a verified event-summary source. When a valid marketplace price-history snapshot is available, the comparison may also show observed starting prices for Ticketmaster, StubHub, Vivid Seats, and SeatGeek. Marketplace observations are not the same as direct listing feeds, endorsements, or proof that a particular seat is available.

An event summary describes a provider event and may include a reported range. A marketplace observation records a starting-price value seen at a particular time. Neither is an individual ticket listing or a guaranteed ticket offer. The absence of a marketplace value does not establish that the provider has no tickets.

How prices are compared

Monetary values are validated and stored as integer cents, and currency and timestamps are validated before display. Marketplace cards use the latest valid observation available for each marketplace and are ordered from lowest to highest. Missing values follow available prices, and equal values are treated as ties.

Ranking is based only on price data. Affiliate status, link type, provider compensation, and provider display order do not affect rank or lowest observed price status. Ticketmaster-reported event ranges are displayed separately because their price basis may differ and are not used to determine the lowest observed marketplace. Values with incompatible or unknown fee bases are not combined into a misleading all-in comparison.

Are fees included?

Not always. A displayed amount may exclude taxes, service charges, delivery fees, or other checkout costs. A price is described as all-in only when its source explicitly identifies it that way. Confirm the final total for the same number of tickets with the provider before purchasing.

Data freshness and limitations

Ticket prices change frequently. Dynamic data shows the exact last-checked timestamp for the accepted snapshot in Pacific time. A failed or delayed refresh can make a snapshot stale, and the absence of a price does not prove tickets are unavailable. An event summary is not an individual listing, and starting prices may apply to limited inventory or a different ticket quantity.

Verify the section, row, seat, quantity, transfer method, and final total on the provider site. Packers Fan Zone cannot guarantee provider availability, accuracy, fulfillment, refunds, or event changes. If dynamic data cannot load, the game details and this guide remain available while the price observation is treated as unavailable.

Before buying Packers tickets
  • Confirm the opponent, date, kickoff time, city, and venue.
  • Compare the final checkout total for the same ticket quantity.
  • Check whether the advertised price is for one ticket or requires buying multiple tickets.
  • Verify the section, row, view, and any obstructed-view notice.
  • Review mobile-transfer timing and the delivery method.
  • Read refund, postponement, cancellation, and rescheduling policies.
  • Confirm accessible-seating details directly with the seller or venue when needed.
  • Complete payment only on the provider’s secure site.
  • Keep the order confirmation and transfer instructions.
