GREEN BAY - The Green Bay Packers say all 1,000 tickets for Donald Driver's retirement ceremony next week have been distributed.

Fans lined up outside Lambeau Field and stood for hours in frigid weather for a chance at tickets to the Feb. 6 event in the stadium atrium. The tickets were available on a first-come, first-serve basis at the Packers' ticket office Friday morning and were gone in a couple hours.

A news outlet says some fans waited in line all night for the tickets. Each fan could get up to four tickets.
