Chicago Bears fans hoping to watch Ben Johnson’s first season as head coach from the stands will have to dig a little deeper into their wallets.
The team is increasing season-ticket prices by an average of 10 percent for the 2025 season, according to multiple reports.
A letter sent to season-ticket holders this week detailed the hike, with Bears president Kevin Warren explaining the decision.
He pointed to “incorporating market dynamics, industry trends and a strong home schedule” as the reasons for the price hike.
Speaking of that “strong home schedule” – Chicago’s home slate for the 2025 season includes matchups against the Lions, Packers, Vikings, Cowboys, Giants, Browns, Steelers and Saints.
Notably, this marks the second consecutive year that the team has increased prices.
Ahead of the 2024 season, the Bears raised season-ticket prices by eight percent, only to finish with a disappointing 5-12 record.
Despite last year’s struggles, excitement is growing around the Ben Johnson era.
Whether that enthusiasm justifies the added cost remains to be seen, but one thing is clear – watching the Bears at Soldier Field in 2025 won’t come cheap.
What are your thoughts on the Bears’ decision to jack up ticket prices???
