Packers fans looking for tickets to the playoff game against Seattle Saturday at Lambeau Field face deadlines in two online contests this week.

The first contest calls for fans to enter for a chance to be randomly drawn to receive one of four prize categories. Entries must be made by 5 p.m. Tuesday. A total of 20 prizes will be given away, five of which include tickets to the game.

One grand prizewinner will receive two tickets to the game, two pre-game sideline passes, recognition on the TundraVision video screens in-stadium and a selection of Packers gear. Four first prizewinners also will receive two tickets to the game and a selection of Packers gear. Five second prize winners will receive two passes to the 2008 Packers Fan Fest in March and five third prize winners will receive one autographed Packers item.

The Packers are not responsible for travel or any related costs, and tickets must be picked up at the will call window on the day of the game. One entry per person per day is permitted.

The second online chance to win features an essay contest in which a fan can write his or her way onto the field for a playoff game to represent all Packers fans as the 'Honorary G-Force Captain' of the game.

Interested fans should explain why they should be the honorary captain for the game. The essay needs to be completed online by noon today. The Packers will choose five finalists and those essays will be posted online. A web poll then will determine the winner with the announcement made at 3 p.m., Jan. 10.

The winning essay writer will receive two tickets to the game and will take the field with the Packers' team captains for the coin toss prior to the game. The winner will be asked to repeat his or her duties for a second home playoff game, if applicable. The Packers are not responsible for travel or any related costs and tickets must be picked up at the Will Call window on the day of the game. One essay entry per person is permitted.

Thus far, more than 233,000 entries have been made for the first contest, and more than 4,000 essays have been submitted for second contest.
