Chicago Bears Ticket Prices Plummet Ahead of NFL Playoff Game Against Rams Amidst Frigid Weather Warnings.
A stark contrast to the record-breaking ticket prices seen during last weekend's highly anticipated showdown against the Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears fans are now bracing themselves for cold-weather-induced price drops as Sunday's NFC divisional playoff game against Los Angeles Rams approaches.
Ticket brokers predict that the frigid temperatures and potential snow flurries forecasted to hit the Midwest will significantly impact ticket prices. "If you're based in L.A., how strong is your motivation to fly out to Chicago and hang around in 15-degree weather, while having to pay all of the expenses of flights, hotels, and a high-priced ticket?" Rams owner Stan Kroenke's real estate background aside, Los Angeles fans are known for their warm-weather preferences.
The National Weather Service has issued warnings of record-breaking cold temperatures and single-digit lows, prompting fears that fewer Rams fans will travel to Soldier Field. With the Bears hosting a divisional playoff game every 15 years, demand is already lower than expected. "By any objective standard, it's a very, very high market for all of these games," said Sean Burns, spokesperson for Mega Seats.
The average ticket price on VividSeats has plummeted to $865, nearly $200 less than the prices seen during last weekend's game against the Packers. TickPick users are facing similarly reduced costs, with an average ticket price of $975. The cheapest seat at Soldier Field now starts at $535.
While early forecasts suggest that frigid temperatures will bring down ticket prices, late buyers may still have a chance to snag deals if they're willing to wait until kickoff or shortly after. "If you're willing to roll the dice and wait until kickoff, or right after kickoff, there might be a break in the market again," noted Drew DeMoss, owner of Tickets First Class.
As Rams fans flock back to Los Angeles after their recent playoff win over the San Francisco 49ers, Bears supporters are bracing themselves for a potentially chilly but price-friendly game day.

I mean, come on... $865 and $975? That's crazy low. Are these ticket prices even legit? I've seen some sketchy sellers online, and now you're telling me that the weather is gonna be so bad that people are gonna go "oh no, I don't wanna fly out to Chicago" just because of the temperature? It seems like a bunch of hooey to me. What's the actual demand for these tickets? Are there even that many Rams fans who want to brave the cold to see their team play? 
I mean, I love Chicago as much as the next guy, but come on! And yeah, I get it, Rams fans aren't exactly known for their cold-weather enthusiasm 
. But still, $865 and down? That's crazy. Like, I can understand the price drop, especially if they're expecting a lot of people to cancel last-minute, but $200 less than usual? Yeah, that's some wild stuff 
. Guess we'll just have to see how it all plays out this weekend...
. I mean, who needs to shell out $1000+ for a seat when you can shiver your butt off in the stands? 
. Still, I guess Bears fans will just have to bundle up and make some snow angels for that extra cash 
. At least the cheapest seats are still relatively affordable at $535 
. Guess you could say it's a chill game day ahead 
.
15 degrees is no joke!
... but for everyone else, maybe it's best to stay on the West Coast where it's warm and cozy 
.
! Who needs warm and sunny weather anyway? I mean, it's not like you'll be stuck in traffic or sweating buckets outside Soldier Field. A little frigid temps won't kill anyone... unless you're a fan who can't handle the cold 
. Bring it on, I say!
! Can you imagine having a ticket to that game in LA for like $865? That's crazy low! I'm thinking of buying a ticket just 'cause 
. I mean, I love football, but $865 is crazy low for a Chicago Bears game! I've been holding onto my season tickets since last year and I'm still hoping they won't sell out completely. If I had to choose between braving -15°C weather or flying in from LA, no thanks! 
.
... it's like chicago bears fans are all "meh" about playing in that crazy cold weather 
... i get it tho, who wouldn't wanna stay home with a warm cup of cocoa and a comfy couch 
... the price drop is def a bonus though, anyone have any leftover tickets for sale? 
. anyhoo, if u r thinkin of buying tix, might b worth checkin out late buyers market at kickoff or soon after, dont wanna miss out on those deals 
! I mean, record-breaking ticket prices just last weekend and now they're plummeting? It's like the whole thing is staged 
. And what's up with all these weather warnings? Is it just a coincidence that the Rams are playing in Chicago when temperatures drop to single-digit lows? 
. Either way, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the Bears can pull off a win despite the "unfavourable" weather conditions 
!
. And yeah, I can see how Rams fans would be all "why bother" when they've got warm weather and sunny skies waiting for them back in LA 
. But at the same time, Bears fans are gonna make the most of it, right? 
. Ticket prices dropping is a good thing for us though - who doesn't love saving some cash?
