Chicago – In a letter to seasonal ticket holders on Wednesday, the president / chief executive officer of Chicago Bears, Kevin Warren, announced an increase in the price of tickets for 2025 with an average increase of 10%.
The announcement comes a little more than a month after the Bears finished another last season, going 5-12 and equaling a franchise record with a sequence of 10 consecutive defeats. Following this failure, the Bears established a new management last month by hiring Ben Johnson as a new coach.
With regard to price increases, Warren cited “market dynamics, industry trends and a domestic time high”.
The 2025 home calendar includes the usual three NFC North Games games more against Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans. The Bears will also play two pre-season games to Soldier Field in August with these opponents to determine.
“Although we have not achieved our objectives during the 2024 season, we make clear, intentional and strategic decisions to ensure that our 2025 season meets the expectations of our organization and our fans,” wrote Warren in His letter. “Our goal will remain the same – we have to perform well on the football field, continue to build a world class commercial operation and innovate on a transformer stadium.”
Warren expressed particular enthusiasm for the arrival of Johnson.
“We are convinced that this decision will have a positive impact on this franchise for many years,” wrote Warren. “Coach Johnson brought together first class staff and together, they are determined to teach, train and empower our football team. Director General Ryan Pomes and coach Johnson are establishing a solid and positive working relationship, establishing the foundations for future success. »»
It remains to be seen what this success will be to be seen. The Bears are removed over 14 years from their last victory in the playoff series and only appreciated one winning season during this period.
The quest to change things continues. This year, he will pressure with another hike at season tickets.
