Bears Working With Individuals To Extend Season-Ticket Deadline

The deadline to pay for '20 Bears season tickets was March 20, and Senior VP/Marketing & Communications Scott Hagel said that the team will "work with individuals to extend the deadline on a case-by-case basis," according to Colleen Kane of the CHICAGO TRIBUNE. The franchise "continues to field calls from season ticket holders concerned about making such payments in a time of economic uncertainty." The Bears "decided not to move the deadline for the entire group of season ticket holders because of the fluidity of the coronavirus crisis." They "believed setting a new date might not solve the issue for everyone, so they wanted to allow for dialogue with individuals with concerns." Still, those consumers "must present their case to the ticket office." Hagel last week on WSCR-AM's "Mully & Haugh" show said that "only 2% of season ticket holders had asked for an extension." He "didn't have an update to that number this week but said calls continue to come in" (CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 4/1).
