Bears to increase ticket prices after franchise-worst 3-13 season

Despite posting their worst record since the NFL moved to a 16-game schedule in 1978, the Chicago Bears will increase their ticket prices for the 2017 season.

While it's common for teams to inflate their prices from year to year, the Bears had been charging the same amount since 2014, and will now see an average overall increase of 2.6 percent after their third consecutive losing season, according to a team statement.

Most will receive a 1-4% price increase, but some will see a price decrease. The overall average increase for 2017 season tickets is 2.6% with non-club seats seeing an average ticket price increase of 2.9% and Club seats seeing an average ticket price increase of 2.0%. ..

Individual Game Tickets will continue to be sold at a higher price, giving season ticket holders the greatest value for game tickets.

Season-ticket holders were informed of the change via a letter from team president and CEO Ted Phillips, according to ESPN's Roman Modrowski.

"It was a challenging and disappointing season," Phillips said in the letter. "One we will not repeat. We shared in your frustration and do not take your passion and loyalty for granted. We are humbled by your dedication to the Bears and know we must be better."
