GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Fans reveling in the Green Bay Packers' fourth Super Bowl title bought out all 50,000 seats to Tuesday's celebration at Lambeau Field in a matter of hours, the team said.
Tickets to the "Return to Titletown" event went on sale Monday morning for $5 each and were sold out by that evening, team spokesman Aaron Popkey said. Tickets were selling on the online ticket sales site StubHub on Tuesday for as much as $140.
Fans packed Green Bay sidewalks to welcome home the team Monday, a day after the Packers defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-25 in Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Schools let out early and people skipped work so they could see the team as it traveled from Austin Straubel International Airport to Lambeau Field along a route that included Lombardi Avenue, named in honor of the legendary Packers coach Vince Lombardi.
Some fans milled around the stadium's atrium and lined up for tours of the stadium, while others just stood in the parking lot and screamed in jubilation.
The stadium's pro shop was so packed with customers snatching up Super Bowl gear team that officials made shoppers stand in line to get in. Fans across the atrium shouted "Go Pack Go!"
