Chicago
Bears Tickets
By
Seth Taylor
The Chicago Bears are one of the most popular
teams in the NFL. They are 1 of the 2 original teams since
the NFL was founded, along with the Arizona Cardinals. The Bears are
currently the winningest franchise in the NFL compiling over 700
victories.
They also hold the title as the NFL team
with the most Hall of Fame players with 26 primary members
overall. They have such notable members such as Walter
Payton, Mike Singletary and Gale Sayers.
The team
became very popular in the 80s as they won the Super Bowl in
1985. The Bears even recorded a Grammy nominated rap song, The Super Bowl Shuffle
the year that they won the Super Bowl.
However,
what made it so interesting was the fact that they recorded the song
before the playoffs even started that year! I can only imagine how
disappointing it would have been if they got knocked out early in the
playoffs. However, they went on to win it all in dominating
fashion with a victory of 46-10.
The Chicago Bears
became a popular team in pop culture from their Super Bowl Shuffle
hit. They also were the subject of Saturday Night Live skits
and commercials.
Although they are not as difficult
to get as say Green
Bay Packers tickets or Pittsburgh
Steelers tickets, the popularity of the team does make
obtaining Chicago Bears tickets somewhat of a challenge.
The
Chicago Bears have 2 different season tickets: PSL season tickets and
Non-PSL season tickets. They are both currently sold out.
PSL Season Tickets
PSLs
(Permanent Seat Licenses) give the owner the right to purchase season
tickets for a particular seat. This right can be sold or
transferred to another person. In order to obtain a PSL you
must pay a one-time fee.
The PSLs for Chicago Bears
tickets currently range from $2,400 to $10,000. Once you pay the one
time fee for the PSL you then must buy the season tickets which
currently range from $68 to $350 per game.
The PSL
marketplace is where PSL owners buy and sell their
PSLs. When PSL season tickets are sold out this is the only
way to acquire PSL season tickets.
Non-PSL Season Tickets
Non-PSL
season tickets are also currently sold out. In order to be
placed on the waiting list a $100 non-refundable deposit is
required. The deposit is credited toward the purchase price
of season tickets when you purchase them.
Presently
there is an estimated 3,500 people on the waiting list for Chicago
Bears tickets.
Although season tickets are
sold out there are still ways to get into the games.
The
first step that you want to take is to check Ticketmaster
to see what tickets they have available. Even when season tickets are
sold out some individual tickets may be available through Ticketmaster.
Then
you also want to check Stubhub
 to see what
prices they have.
You can sometimes find good deals here.
You also
want to check out the prices at ticket brokers. I recommend
TicketNetwork
 since they
usually have some of the best prices and are
reliable. A trick to buying from a ticket brokers is to not buy too
soon.
What I mean by this is to buy about 5-7 days
before the game starts for the best price. Brokers don't want
to be left with useless tickets so they usually start cutting prices
closer to game day.
