    Anyone here have Bears season tickets?

    When I look at StubHub, most of the tickets are just available by FedEx and very very few available electronically. Is it because the electronic tickets haven't been released yet to ticket holders, or what?

    Hoping for enlightening replies from the invaluable crew of Chicago area posters at SBR

    No idea man but I'm definitely buying. I'll probably just do game by game basis though to see where I like to sit and maybe try to get season tickets for the next few years.

    Mathy I am going to 2 games this year. I have tickets to the Bears/Lions Monday night game at Soldier Field on October 22 and going to Lambeau Field on a bus trip to watch Bears/Packers September 13. That's it so far. Don't have any other hookups though, sorry.

    Thanks for the reply sir

    Just want to understand why so few eTickets available? Will it continue to be like this 2-3 weeks before each game?

    Bears fans are pretty loyal when it comes to going to games and/or selling to friends. There are also high expectations for this team in 2012 so it's not surprising to me. If I hear of anything I will let you know.

    Go to NFL Ticket Exchange and they will electronically send you them. I'm a Dallas Cowboys season ticket holder and already sold 2 tickets through eTickets.

    Sigh.. that doesn't explain why the tons and tons of tickets being posted are FedEx and not eTicket.

    This is not a question of ticket availability, it's a question of availability of a delivery method.

    Yeah that's what I figured too. I've never bought more than a couple weeks in advance. Bronxer I bet you're the type of guy who throws peanut shells on the broads in front of him It has not worked yet for me

    $100? i havent been to an nfl game in probably about 6 or 7 years but i figured a pair tickets for any kinda decent seats would be $400 min...not to mention your typical nfl fan is a total fukkin douchebag who has three fantasy teams and thinks he's the next belicheck

    in terms of live events big time college games >>> nfl in every way...at least until playoff time

    My season tix are through a buddy of mine. I have been on wait list for 4 years. Started around 4000, am around 2800 right now I believe. I am hoping to get them in next 6 years but not holding breath. They are very difficult to get!!
