Can't believe the majority of people so far at MJs saying "sell the tickets". Dude, dress in layers and put a half pint of whiskey in your sock. Otherwise that will be a shitty exchange when you are at the Shady Oak retirement village with your grandson on your knee:

c20916: I remember my Bears in the 2010 NFC Championship game. All the hype was on the Packers and their stud quarterback Aaron Rogers. The Bears surprised everybody with a 24-20 win at Soldier Field.

GRANDSON: Was it cold that day, grandpa?

c20916: It was 72 degrees in my living room that day. I sold the tickets and watched it on the Vizio.

GRANDSON: Isn't that kind of puss, grandpa?

c20916: Hold on, I think I may have a picture of the $1,900 around here somewhere.

well what to do, do I sell my bears/packers tickets for some nice coin or go and enjoy what will be a great game with the bears headed to the super bowl. My brother sold his tickets on line in 5 min after the game for 950/ea :scared

Not worried about weather, was there on Sunday, been to the games when the wind chill was well below 0.

what I'll probably end up doing is listing them for 2k ea if someone really wants to pay 4k to go ok, if not then I'll go.

Well it appears no one is willing to pay $1800 a ticket to see the NFC championship, not that I really thought anyone would. Seems $1000 is about as high as anyone is going.

However I just go the email from the Bears that my account has been selected to buy 2 tickets for the Super bowl if the bears win. Face value on those is 800 -900, now do you go or sell those?

I paid $1000 for a ticket in 2000 when the ONLY time my Titans went to the Super Bowl and was sitting right there in front of the end zone when Dyson came up ONE YARD SHORT:facepalm:

According to how strong your loyalties are for your team and if you need the money but a Super Bowl is a bucket list kind of thing everyone should do and seeing your team in it is even more special:0074

I guess I'm different than most. I'm the one that would pay 1k for a ticket to this game if it was my team playing. IMO there's NOTHING better as a fan than remembering the big games you went to.(win or lose)

The feeling is great when your at home and good things happen but to me they're multiplied when you're seeing it in person.

Keep em, enjoy the game and know that you'll have great memories that can never be taken away.
