When is Favre eligible for Canton? (1 Viewer)

Yes, it is to early to make reservations. Most don't make reservations more than 1 year in advance.

 
It's a shame that his last pass was an interception, an extremely costly one at that, but maybe it is kinda poetic justice, since he is the all-time leader in interceptions. He will be a 1st ballot hall of famer, but for me, that is a tough way for a 1st ballot hall of famer's career to end.

 
TO answer my own question....

It's never too early to get those reservations for 2013

Any Brett Favre fans out there might want to save that date and block out the time. After announcing his retirement Tuesday, that's likely when Favre will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.

In fact, some Packers fans already have gotten a head start on plans.

"I got some calls this morning about it," said Joe Horrigan, the Hall's vice president for communications-exhibits.

Here's what Horrigan has been telling fans about tickets and hotels:

Tickets will go on sale to the public shortly after the Class of 2013 is selected at Super Bowl XLVII that year and the teams for the Hall of Fame game are announced. They are only available through the Hall of Fame Web site. While a small number of renewable tickets have been offered by the Hall, it has not yet been determined whether they will open that avenue to the public again. That means Packers fans who wanted to secure their spot for Favre's induction by purchasing renewable tickets now can't do so. That could change, but it's doubtful, Horrigan said. With demand expected to be great, the date and time that tickets will be made available will be publicized by the Hall and the Packers.

Most of the hotels in the immediate Canton area are blocked by the Hall of Fame for guests and media, but there are many within a 20- to 30-minute drive that will be available. Fans also can purchase tour packages that include tickets and hotel.
