    Where to buy NFL tickets?

    Looking to go to Chicago to catch a bears game in mid september. What are the best sites to look at, and why are Bears tickets so damn expensive compared to other NFL teams, sheesh.

    I've looked on Vivid, and stubhub, but is there anything else better, anyone know from experience?

    Thanks

    Bears tix always expensive, mid sept is for sure going to be big dollars. Those games are in high demand as you don't have to wear 15 layers. Also in sept you have only 2 games: season opener and packers. Two of toughest tix to get in general. Ticket exchange is good. Craigslist too but your going to get scalped either way so just be ready to pay. Good thing is that both those are easy bears wins so should have fun!!!!

    Yeah I figured that was the reason. Just funny I can go to the dolphins game and sit 10 rows up on the 50 yard line for what I'd pay for upper bowl at a bears game

    this. A good rule of thumb is unless you can get tickets for face value ...

    the earlier you buy your tickets the more you are going to pay.

    best thing to do is go to the game and right infront of stadium people are always selling tickets..

    wait until 2 minutes before the game is going to start and the sellers will have no choice but to drop the price in order to sell them for fear that they won't find a buyer.

    i've gotten tickets for as little as $5 this way at NFL and NBA games.
