Lifelong Wisconsin resident Brad Sauve has been waiting nearly 37 years to receive a letter from the Green Bay Packers, and it finally arrived last month.

Sauve, a resident of Spring Valley in the western part of the state, signed up for Packers season tickets in 1976, and his name finally rose to the top of pro football’s most coveted list.


But with the long wait comes a steep price. Sauve must cough up $5,390 for the privilege of owning two season tickets this year in Section 128 in the southwest corner of Lambeau Field between the end zone and 20-yard line.

That cost includes a one-time $4,200 user fee for two bench seats, plus another $1,190 for the seven-game green package.

Sauve didn’t think twice about shelling out the money, considering there are 105,000 names below him on the season ticket waiting list.
