If I were looking to unload some tickets and wanted to be sure of a sale, I'd get them out several weeks in advance with a broker, pay the commission, and price them slightly under comparable seats already posted."2 weeks before game time,  we dropped our price on the Steelers game at the end of last year to $20 and they went unsold.  Same thing with the Lions and Titans in Dec of 2012.  We avoid the secondary market because the Packers, for a cost of 10% of the sales price, guarantee that your ticket will not be revoked if an idiot buys it and runs out naked on the field, or is arrested for anything.   If you sell through the secondary market, your seat is revoked in such a case.There are empty seats at every game, and the Packers claim 107% attendance so far this year.</blockquote>
