Brett Favre’s return to football has Minnesota Vikings fans scrambling for tickets

Brett Favre has come out of retirement once again, this time to play QB for the Minnesota Vikings, and the fans response? They can’t seem to get enough.
According to the Associated Press, in the 24 hours following Favre’s announcement at Tuesday’s press conference at Winter Park, the Vikings’s training camp, more than 3,200 season tickets and 11,000 single game tickets have been sold. Ticket sellers are having trouble keeping up. “It’s been pretty crazy the last couple of days,” Ticket King’s Cortney Storsved told TicketNews. “We have been swamped. It’s been huge [ever since] it was announced that [Brett Favre] was flying to Minnesota. The Vikings’ Web site actually crashed.”
And ticket prices have climbed as high as fan enthusiasm, with some sellers reporting huge jumps in prices just hours after Favre’s move to Minnesota became clear. Tickets that days ago averaged in the mid $100 range now hover at the low $300 mark. And the most sought-after tickets are, of course, for Favre’s return to Lambeau field when his new team meets the Packers on November 1. RazorGator's offerings for this match up rose over $500 in one day, from $441.48 to $975.56. At 48 hours post-announcement, RazorGator’s lowest priced tickets for the game start at $387, with those for the Vikings’s October 5 home game against the Packers starting at $225
