The prospect of Brett Favre as the quarterback of the Minnesota Vikings has certainly generated more interest than normal for the two Green Bay Packers-Minnesota Vikings games this coming season.

StubHub, a major secondary ticket provider in the country, reports that the Nov. 1 game between the teams at Lambeau Field is already the second highest-grossing game of the upcoming season. It trails only the season opener against the Chicago Bears.

That Nov. 1 game is also fetching the highest average ticket-selling price for all of the Packers' homes games. The average price is $267.
