Never mind Brett Favre's Packers Hall of Fame induction ceremony will be broadcast on live TV. Real Packers fans will be watching at Lambeau Field.

That's right. An estimated 67,000 cheeseheads will watch live — um, via TundraVision video boards — on July 18 at a sold-out event as the Packers legendary quarterback is inducted into the Hall. The $4 tickets went on sale at 10 a.m. Tuesday and less than 10 hours later they were all gone.

“We are looking forward to sharing the excitement for Brett Favre’s induction into the Packers Hall of Fame with 67,000 fans viewing the banquet on the video boards in Lambeau Field,” Packers Hall of Fame Inc. president Perry Kidder said in a statement. “We are pleased with the enthusiastic response to this viewing opportunity, which will be a special complement to a historic evening.”

Enthusiastic is an understatement for the excitement Packers fans are feeling.

If you missed out on tickets, don't feel bad. The ceremony will be broadcast on NFL Network and packers.com.
