Wanna see the Bears play at Soldier? It’s gonna cost you

If you want to see the Bears play in one of their remaining two home games this season, it’s going to cost you.

With an 8-3 start, demand is growing to see the team take on the Los Angeles Rams — who are 10-1 and potentially Super Bowl-bound — on Dec. 9 at Soldier Field. The following Sunday, Dec. 16, the Bears battle the Green Bay Packers, a rivalry which usually fetches top dollar.

In recent years, tickets to late-season games haven’t been hard to come by — several losing seasons in a row and the cold temperatures have combined to drive prices below face value for many December games.

That’s changed during this year’s stellar season. And even with the Packers having a down year (for them), it’s actually that ticket that is the harder one to get, ticket resellers said.

The average price of tickets to the Packers game that have already been sold on Vivid Seats is $281, the company said. Going forward, the ticket is becoming even hotter: The median list price for a ticket is $502. That’s the highest price for a late-season Bears game in at least five years.

“Not only is the Packers game seemingly viewed by fans as a bigger matchup than the tilt against the Rams, but it’s also currently the hottest ticket (by median listed price) across all of Week 15, which includes some big-time showdowns: Pats vs. Steelers, Eagles vs. Rams and Cowboys vs. Colts,” Andrew Gretchko, a digital PR specialist for Vivid Seats, said in an email.

The ticket is also pricey on other sites. At TicketIQ, the average asking price for BearsPackers is a whopping $893, said spokesman Ralph Garcia.

For Bears-Rams, the average asking price on TicketIQ is $100 less than the Packers matchup: $794.
