Bears vs. Rams: High Ticket Prices and Cold Weather

The Chicago Bears and Los Angeles Rams are set to face off in a divisional playoff game, but the excitement isn't as high as the previous match against the Green Bay Packers. Even though this game could send the winner to the NFC Championship and potentially the Super Bowl, the cold weather forecast is making people think twice about buying tickets. The cheapest ticket to the game is still over $500, which is a lot of money for many fans. The average price for a ticket is around $865, which is higher than the average price for the Packers game. The most expensive ticket sold so far is $2, 660 for a seat right by the field. The Bears haven't hosted a divisional playoff game in seven years, and they haven't won one in 15 years. This might be why ticket prices are still high, even though there are a lot of Bears fans in the area.The cold weather is also making people think twice about traveling to Chicago for the game. The National Weather Service is forecasting high temperatures in the teens and lows in the single digits, which could deter Southern Californians from making the trip. If the forecast holds true, Sunday night's game will be among the coldest ever played at Soldier Field. Inclement weather could also prompt late sellers, though buyers should be aware that some ticket sites, like StubHub, halt sales after a certain point in the event. The Rams' nomadic history, which originated in Cleveland in 1937, has alienated various parts of its fan base over the years, resulting in a light following even in its hometown. This might be why there isn't as much demand for tickets to the game.
