Tickets For Favre Induction Ceremony Sell Out

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP/WCCO) — Proceeds from ticket sales to watch Brett Favre's induction into the Green Bay Packers' Hall of Fame on the Lambeau Field video boards will benefit his charity — Favre 4 Hope.

Those tickets at $4 a piece went sale at 10 a.m. Tuesday. As of Wednesday, all 67,000 tickets had been sold. The banquet and ceremony will be held in the stadium atrium on July 18. More than 1,600 will attend that sold-out event.

Favre will make an appearance in the stadium bowl that evening where fans will gather to watch the ceremony on the TundraVision screens. There's a limit of eight tickets per order. They're available through Ticketmaster.

The former Packers quarterback's name and number will be unveiled at Lambeau during a home game against the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving.
