Sometime back in the spring, the NFL released the 2007 schedule. If you know me, you already know I'm a maniacal Bears fan. Yup, I'm the one with the orange "C" on my lid. When the schedule came out, I quickly scanned the list of opponents and I went right to the Tiger Woods fist pump when I saw that Chicago was coming to Quest Field.
The Bears came to Seattle a couple years back in 2003, the last year under the Jauron staff. Prior to that, Chicago hasn't been to Seattle since 1984 (thanks pro-football-reference.com, a sweet site that documents the history of the game with unbelievable stats). The Bears lost 17-24.
Tickets went on sale Monday July 30th at 10am through Ticketmaster. Trying to get NFL tickets when they go on sale is a complete mess with them. I tried repeatedly to get through on the phone and got busy signals while I tried to use the website and got "no matches found" when I entered for two tickets "best available", which is the broadest search you can do. After about 15 minutes of this, I finally gave up - I never had a chance.
People are trying to make a living on stubhub by asking $200 + to get out of the upper level. I resorted to trusty ol' craigslist. I found a season ticket holder who was willing to settle for selling them for triple face value. I was really worried that I was going to get ripped off, I'm just glad I found him. I can't say I really blame the guy, I was willing to pay it, and I'm sure others would have if I didn't. Seriously though, at least I didn't pay 5-6x face value like some of these other tickets for sale. Angie and I are set in section 101 for the November 18th nationally televised game. You can have a seat, but you'll have to move when we get there.
