1. 2023-24 Ticketback Terms

Tickets to Chicago Bears games at Soldier Field are revocable licenses that only grant a one-time entry into the stadium and a seat, or if specified on the ticket, a standing location, for the specified game (the "Event") with no right of re-entry. The person seeking entry pursuant to this license, and any accompanying minors ("Holder"), agrees that this ticket license is subject to these terms and conditions ("Terms") and by acceptance and/or use of this ticket for the Event, Holder is deemed to have read the Terms and agreed to be bound by them. Failure to comply with any of these Terms shall result in forfeiture of this license and all rights arising hereunder without refund, and shall entitle the NFL, the Chicago Bears and/or the Chicago Park District ("CPD") (individually or collectively, "Management") to pursue all legal remedies available. Admission may be refused or revoked and Holder may be ejected in the sole discretion of Management.

ALL TICKET SALES ARE FINAL. NO REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN. THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY if admission is refused or revoked, or the Event is cancelled and not replayed for any reason, or there is either (i) a mandatory reduction in fan stadium capacity; or (ii) a determination that the Event will take place without fans for any reason, is a refund of up to the face value of the ticket set by Management (the "Face Value"). Further, Management's liability for any breach of any term of this ticket shall not exceed the Face Value. IN NO EVENT SHALL MANAGEMENT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AMOUNT PAID IN EXCESS OF THE FACE VALUE FOR THIS TICKET. ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM, OR CAUSE OF ACTION IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS TICKET OR THE GAME SHALL BE RESOLVED BY MANDATORY, CONFIDENTIAL, FINAL, AND BINDING ARBITRATION IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, REGARDLESS OF WHERE HOLDER RESIDES OR FROM WHERE HOLDER PURCHASED THEIR TICKET. HOLDER AND MANAGEMENT AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES SHALL BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO LITIGATE OR ARBIRTRATE ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, OR CLASS ARBITRATION. IF HOLDER DOES NOT CONSENT TO THIS CLAUSE, HOLDER MUST LEAVE OR NOT ENTER THE STADIUM. THIS CLAUSE IS GOVERNED BY THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT. 

The date and time of the Event (and the opening of the gates) are subject to change by Management in its sole discretion, and no such change shall entitle ticket holder to a refund or any other remedy if ticket holder cannot attend or for any other reason. Please also be aware that there are certain games scheduled during the NFL's flexible scheduling window for which the date and time of the games may be changed from what is originally reflected on the schedule and what may appear on the ticket. For more detailed information about NFL flexible scheduling procedures for the 2023 NFL Season, please visit https://www.nfl.com/schedules/flexible-scheduling-procedures*.*Ticket holder may be relocated in the sole discretion of Management, and no such relocation shall entitle ticket holder to a refund or any other remedy if ticket holder is relocated to a seat of comparable Face Value.

Holder must comply with all Chicago Bears and stadium policies, including without limitation any security and fan conduct policies, health and safety protocols, policies and assessments, and any applicable bag policies. Holder and Holder's belongings may be searched or assessed prior to or upon entry into the stadium. Prohibited items may be confiscated and/or Holder may be denied admission or have his or her admission revoked at any time at the sole discretion of Management. Holder consents to such searches and assessments and waives all claims relating to them. If Holder does not consent to such searches and assessments, Holder acknowledges that Management has the right to deny admission or to eject Holder from the Event without refund. Umbrellas, cans, bottles, coolers and ice chests are NOT allowed in the stadium. Management reserves the right to deny admission to or eject any person who Management, in its sole discretion, determines poses a risk to the health and safety of other attendees and/or whose conduct violates these Terms, any applicable code of conduct, or is otherwise disorderly (or complicit in such conduct) without refund. Any attempt to enter the field level or playing field will result in ejection, arrest, prosecution, and revocation of season tickets. Smoking is prohibited everywhere inside Soldier Field.

Holder agrees not to create, transmit, display, distribute, exploit, misappropriate or sell (or aid in such activity) (1) in any form, any description or account (whether text, data or visual, and including, without limitation, play-by-play data) of the Event or related events (collectively, the "Descriptive Data") for any commercial or non-personal, purpose; (2) any photographs, images, videos, audio or other form of display or public performance or reproduction of any portion of the Event or related events (the "Works") for any commercial or non-personal purpose; or (3) livestreams of any portion of the Event or related events (the "Livestreams"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holder agrees that by causing this ticket to be scanned upon entry to the Stadium, Holder shall be deemed to have signed this ticket and granted the NFL and the Chicago Bears an exclusive worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, sub-licensable, royalty-free license to all rights associated with the Works, the Livestreams, and, to the extent permitted by law, the Descriptive Data. Holder also grants irrevocable permission to the NFL, the Chicago Bears and their respective sponsors, licensees, advertisers, broadcasters, designees, partners and agents to use, publish, distribute, edit, modify and/or alter Holder's image, likeness, voice, actions and statements in any medium including, without limitation, any audio, video, film, photographs, social media, exhibition, transmission, publication or reproduction of the Event for any purpose without further authorization or compensation, and waives all claims and potential claims relating to such use unless prohibited by law.

Any collection, use, and/or disclosure of Holder data in connection with Holder's use of the ticket license, attendance at the Event, or use of the websites, mobile applications, and other online or offline services of the NFL or the Chicago Bears, including without limitation use of the stadium Wi-Fi network, (the "Services"), are subject to the Chicago Bears Privacy Policy located at https://www.chicagobears.com/about/privacy-policy, which provides greater detail on how Holder personal information may be used and how to exercise any rights Holder might have under applicable law.

2. You are voluntarily purchasing the Midway Pass and understand that the Midway Pass does not grant the user admission or access to the Stadium for the Game. The user of a Midway Pass must have a ticket to the Game in order to access the Stadium and use the Midway Pass. The field at the Stadium is not visible from The Midway.

3. In order to use a Midway Pass, the user must have a mobile device with the Chicago Bears Mobile App installed or use of a mobile browser with access to Chicago Bears Account Manager - am.ticketmaster.com/bears. There are two ways to sign in to view a Midway Pass:

The Midway Pass may only be scanned and validated one time and used by one person. Once a Midway Pass is scanned and validated and the user is provided a Wristband, the Midway Pass cannot be used to gain access to The Midway.

("Chicago Bears"), the Chicago Park District, ASM Global, LLC, Aramark Sports and Entertainment Services, LLC and their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, shareholders, directors, officers, commissioners, employees and other agents (each a "Released Party" and collectively the "Released Parties") from any liabilities, losses, damages and/or claims including costs of defending against such claims, arising out of or related to any personal injury, death or property damage resulting from or in connection with the use of the Midway, the Midway Pass, or the Stadium and its environs by the purchaser and user, [except to the extent such damages were caused solely by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party claiming such right to be released, held harmless or indemnified].

9. For purchasers of full regular season Midway Passes: You are purchasing a 2022 full regular season pass or passes to The Midway and are subject to all terms of use contained herein.

You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to review the published Terms of Use periodically and to be aware of any modifications.
