The Chicago Bears have a training camp ticket problem.
Sure, there are some tips and tricks that could be helpful for fans wanting to get tickets. But not enough to satisfy the demand. For instance, my favorite hack is getting weekday practice dates while others rush to get weekend passes. But even that didn’t work for me this time around. Heck, now that I’m writing this out, it didn’t even work last year.
If this were just a problem I had, then I’d brush it off as a user error. But it wasn’t just me. I can get over not getting training camp tickets. When it comes to fighting The Great Ticketmaster War, I know that there are some battles you’ll win and some you’ll lose. However, what I will not get over is that my fellow fans are losing out in droves.
This was a far-too-common sentiment shared on social media on Wednesday when Bears training camp tickets were gobbled up quicker than the Green Bay Packers could blow a second-half lead in a playoff game:

— DaWindyCity Productions (@dwcprodz) July 8, 2026The reality is that the Bears have a multi-pronged problem when it comes to training camp tickets:
There is not enough supply to meet demand. Getting tickets to training camp wasn’t a problem when the Bears were in Bourbonnais or Platteville. The open fields of rural Illinois and Wisconsin provided ample training space for players and room for fans. And while moving training camp to Halas Hall makes sense for the team, it comes at the expense of fans. Don’t get it twisted. The Halas Hall training camp practice experience is great. You’ll never be closer to the players. And a trip to the Walter Payton Center is something I think all fans would love. But fans won’t be able to experience it if they can’t get tickets. So long as this team is in a competitive window, there simply won’t be enough supply to meet demand after moving to a smaller facility. The bots are getting better. Three years ago, I watched a news documentary titled “Sold Out: Ticketmaster & The Resale Market” that captured how the Live Nation/Ticketmaster monopoly enabled the shadowy secondary marketplace of scalpers and their bot farms to buy tickets in bulk and sell them at jacked-up prices for extreme profits. You can watch the trailer here to capture the spirit of the thing if you can’t find the documentary. Since then, the problems have gotten worse because bots have gotten better. Further complicating matters is that Ticketmaster’s counterpunch to fight the problem has hurt more fans than it has helped. I’m not sure how to remedy this particular issue. But the current system isn’t working for the consumer.SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: Apple | Spotify | YouTube
Bears Training Camp tickets are a hot item, in part, because they represent the most affordable fan experience. I’m single, unmarried, and don’t have children. So I know that I can swing a solo game trip without putting stress on my finances. But I also know that would change if I had to multiply the cost of admission to include a partner and children. Factor in the cost of parking (I take the CTA to Soldier Field and have no problem doing so, but I understand that others do not feel similarly), concessions, and souvenirs to the mix, and you can understand why fans flock for free training camp tickets.
The good news is that there are some reasonable solutions to the Bears’ problem.

This is something they did in the past, with fans signing up for their preferred practice days. It could give fans a better chance at scoring tickets. At a minimum, it would add a layer of defense in the battle against bots. A more extreme option would be to charge for tickets. Not only would it be a less-than-ideal scenario, it is also something that I would fight against. But it could be a necessary evil. Perhaps a way to soften the blow would be to provide a perk (such as free concessions) for charging admission.
Ultimately, the best solution is something I mentioned in Thursday’s Bullets and have occasionally offered on this site and on our social media platforms.
When the Bears build their new stadium, they should do so while building a facility that allows them to host training camp practices. An NFL stadium hosting training camp isn’t a foreign concept. The Carolina Panthers (Bank of America Stadium), Arizona Cardinals (State Farm Stadium), Cincinnati Bengals (Paycor Stadium), and Green Bay Packers (Lambeau Field) all host training camp practices for their respective teams. There would be some obvious hurdles to clear if the team were to build in Hammond, Ind., but a stadium project at Arlington Park should absolutely include room for practice fields. It’s not as if the 326-acre plot of land doesn’t have room for it.
Unfortunately, the stadium idea isn’t likely to come to fruition anytime soon. And our other ideas won’t help fans this year. But I hope that creative minds in the Bears’ circle of trust can help usher in the necessary change so more fans can experience watching their favorite team in person.
