Really wants Bears tickets but the prices are crazy. Looking to go in Nov or Dec and thought I'd just hang around and buy them same day from a scalper. But not sure if I can get in trouble doing that or just the scalper. Any help would be great!

I lived in Chicago for four years and used to go to plenty of sporting events, including the Bears which were only a few blocks away. Scalpers you'll find all throughout Grant Park and along the sidewalk on the streets on the way to the game. I personally wouldn't worry about it, the police only seem to come down on it just outside the stadium itself.

Yes, dont get scammed. Althought it is illegal in Illinois to buy tickets from a scalper the cops dont sweat it. Last time I did I had the guy walk me to the gates to make sure I got in, I told him that I would seriously hurt him if he was trying to jook me.

Don't do it bro. You'll either get ripped off or busted. Call a ticket broker they have all of the tickets besides a season ticket holder. If you need more help let me know I know a guy.
