Bears season ticket holders feel blitzed by steep ticket price increases

Some longtime Bears fans were taken aback after the cost of ticket packages rose steeply even though there will be one less game at Soldier Field — resulting in price hikes for some fans of up to nearly 50 percent per game.

Bears fan Mike P. from Downers Grove loves his season tickets in section 320 at Soldier Field, but this season the cost to attend a game has jumped by nearly 50% for him to watch from the same spot he has sat in for years.

“I gotta be honest with you, I wasn’t happy,” said Mike, who didn’t want his last name used.

While fans are excited to see their new franchise quarterback Caleb Williams in action this year, several season-ticket holders were left feeling angry or misled after taking a closer look at their season ticket costs following the release of the Bears schedule last week.
