CHICAGO – Chicago Bears President/CEO Kevin Warren informed season ticket holders on Wednesday that ticket prices will rise by an average of 10% for the 2025 season. This increase follows a disappointing 5-12 season, during which the team finished last and matched a franchise-worst 10-game losing streak. In response to the struggles, the Bears hired Ben Johnson as their new head coach last month. Warren attributed the price hike to “market dynamics, industry trends, and a strong home schedule.” The 2025 home slate includes divisional matchups against NFC North rivals, along with games against the Cowboys, Giants, Browns, Steelers, and Saints. The Bears will also host two preseason games at Soldier Field in August, with opponents yet to be determined.
Warren acknowledged that the team fell short of its goals in 2024 but emphasized that deliberate and strategic choices are being made to align the 2025 season with the expectations of both the organization and its fans. “Our priorities remain unchanged—we need to succeed on the field, strengthen our business operations, and begin construction on a groundbreaking new stadium,” he stated in his letter. Warren also conveyed strong enthusiasm for Johnson’s addition to the team.
Warren expressed confidence that this decision would benefit the franchise for years to come. He praised Coach Johnson for assembling a top-tier staff committed to developing and guiding the team. Additionally, he highlighted the growing partnership between General Manager Ryan Poles and Coach Johnson as a key foundation for future success. However, what that success will entail remains uncertain, as the Bears have gone over 14 years without a playoff win and have had just one winning season in that time.
The effort to improve the team continues, and this year, it will include another increase in season ticket prices.
