Soldier Field Tickets

Soldier Field Tickets & Events

Along Chicago's lakefront in Burnham Park, Soldier Field brings NFL football, MLS soccer, international matches, and stadium-scale concerts into one of the most historic sports settings in the country. Soldier Field tickets connect fans with the Chicago Bears, Chicago Fire FC, major touring artists, and large public events inside an open-air stadium framed by its iconic neoclassical colonnades.

This page covers everything you need to know before you go — from finding the right seats to getting there, navigating the venue, and buying with confidence.

About Soldier Field

Soldier Field originally opened in 1924 and was dedicated as Soldier Field in 1925. Owned by the Chicago Park District, it sits at 1410 S. Museum Campus Drive in Chicago, within the Museum Campus near Lake Michigan and downtown skyline views. The stadium seats approximately 61,500 for Chicago Bears football, with configurations that can shift for soccer and concerts depending on field setup, stage placement, and event production needs.

The venue is one of the most historic stadiums in American sports and the oldest stadium in the NFL. Its 2003 reconstruction placed a modern, asymmetrical seating bowl within the preserved historic colonnades, creating a distinctive lakefront venue that blends the original Doric exterior with contemporary stadium seating. Soldier Field is home to the Chicago Bears of the NFL and Chicago Fire FC of MLS, while also hosting international soccer, major concerts, large public gatherings, charity events, community events, and occasional special events.

Its history includes 1994 FIFA World Cup matches, the 2016 Copa América Centenario, NFL playoff games, the 1927 Dempsey–Tunney “Long Count” boxing match, Pope John Paul II’s 1979 mass, historic college football games, and stadium tours by artists including The Rolling Stones, U2, Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, and major country acts.

Location & Transportation

Soldier Field is located at 1410 S. Museum Campus Drive, Chicago, IL 60605 — on the Museum Campus along Chicago’s lakefront, near Lake Michigan, Grant Park, and the South Loop.

Transit: Soldier Field is served by CTA bus routes and is accessible from the Metra Electric District’s Museum Campus/11th Street station, which is a short walk from the stadium. CTA Red, Orange, and Green Line trains connect at Roosevelt station, with bus connections or a walk to the venue. Transit is practical for many events, though the lakefront location means most routes still involve a noticeable walk before reaching the gates.

Driving and Parking: On-site and nearby parking is available in Museum Campus facilities including the North Garage, South Lot, Waldron Deck, and Adler lots. For Bears games and major concerts, lots fill early and prepaid parking is strongly recommended. Drivers should expect congestion on and around Lake Shore Drive before and after large events.

Rideshare: Designated rideshare drop-off and pickup zones operate near the stadium. After high-attendance events, waits and surge pricing are common because large crowds exit into a lakefront area with limited road access.

Nearby Accommodation: The South Loop offers the closest hotels to Soldier Field, while downtown Chicago, the Loop, and the Grant Park area provide abundant lodging within a short cab, rideshare, or transit trip.

Venue Navigation

Soldier Field is a large open-air stadium with multiple gates around its perimeter, a modern bowl inside historic colonnades, and a lakefront setting that often requires walking across the Museum Campus. Understanding your gate, section, and level before arrival helps make entry and movement inside the stadium smoother.

Entrances and Access: Multiple numbered and lettered gates ring the stadium. Main entry points are reached from the Museum Campus side and from the United Club and colonnade sides, with guests passing through the historic colonnades at several access points.

Concourse Levels: Seating is organized into the lower bowl along the sidelines and end zones, the club/United Club level, suite areas, and an upper deck. The bowl is asymmetrical, with the larger main grandstand on the west sideline.

Accessibility: ADA and accessible seating are available on multiple levels, with accessible parking, entrances, restrooms, and elevator access. Accessible seating can be requested through the box office.

Getting to Your Section: Staff and signage direct guests toward gates, concourses, and sections. Because Soldier Field sits in an open-air lakefront setting, plan for walking across the Museum Campus, stairs within the bowl, and exposure to wind or weather on event day.

Dining Options

Inside Soldier Field

Soldier Field offers a wide range of concessions, including Chicago staples such as hot dogs, Italian beef, and pizza, along with standard stadium fare and beer and alcohol service. Premium club and suite areas offer upgraded food and beverage service. Expect typical stadium pricing and longer lines around kickoff, showtime, halftime, and other peak moments.

Outside the Venue — South Loop and Museum Campus

The immediate area around Soldier Field is largely parkland within the Museum Campus, so most sit-down dining is a short trip away. The South Loop, downtown Chicago, Grant Park, and the Prairie Avenue/Motor Row districts offer nearby options before or after an event, with the South Loop providing some of the easiest access for visitors staying close to the stadium.

Security & Policies

Soldier Field maintains security and venue policies that are updated regularly and may vary by event. Before attending, reviewing the current policy on the venue's official website is strongly recommended.

Bag Policy: Soldier Field enforces an NFL-style clear-bag policy for most major events. Clear plastic bags up to roughly 12"x6"x12" and small clutches are generally permitted, while non-clear and oversized bags are prohibited.

Commonly Prohibited Items: Commonly restricted items include weapons, outside food and beverages, large bags and backpacks, coolers, professional cameras with detachable lenses, selfie sticks, pointed umbrellas, drones, and other items deemed a safety risk under stadium policy.

Re-Entry: Re-entry is generally not permitted once you have entered the stadium. Event-specific re-entry rules are shown on the event listing.

Entry Procedures: Expect bag checks, metal detection or walk-through screening, and digital/mobile ticket verification at the gates. Arriving with a compliant bag and pre-downloaded tickets helps speed entry.

How Much Do Tickets to Soldier Field Cost?

Soldier Field ticket prices vary widely depending on the type of event, the artist or team, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from Chicago Fire FC matches to Chicago Bears games and stadium-headline concerts.

For Chicago Bears games, tickets typically range from about $90 to $400 or more depending on the opponent and seat location. Marquee matchups, playoff dates, and premium or club seats can push prices higher.

For Chicago Fire FC matches, tickets can start as low as about $25 to $40, with premium seats commonly reaching $100 or more depending on the matchup and available inventory.

For concerts by major stadium headliners, tickets typically range from about $60 to $300 or more. High-demand tours, floor seating, premium sections, and limited remaining inventory can drive prices considerably higher.

For high-demand Bears games and major concerts, buying earlier generally yields better seat selection and pricing. As inventory tightens closer to event day, the best remaining sections often become more expensive, especially for premium locations and marquee events.

Soldier Field Seating Guide

Soldier Field’s seating layout is worth reviewing before buying because the venue changes between football, soccer, and concert configurations. The lower bowl wraps the field along the sidelines and end zones, club and suite areas sit above key sideline sections, and the upper deck rises over the modern asymmetrical bowl.

Best Seats at Soldier Field

• Best value: Upper-deck and end-zone sections are typically the most affordable areas, offering a broad stadium view and strong event atmosphere at a more accessible price.
• Closest to the action: Lower-bowl sideline seats and field-level end-zone sections put fans closest to the field for football and soccer, while concert floor configurations can offer the closest proximity to the stage when general admission or floor seating is used.
• Best overall experience: Lower-bowl midfield sideline sections offer some of the strongest overall sightlines for sporting events, balancing proximity, angle, and crowd energy.
• Premium and suite options: United Club seating, premium clubs, and luxury suites provide upgraded amenities, elevated service, and more private spaces for premium buyers and groups.
• For groups: Group packages are available through the stadium or teams, and coordinating seats early is especially helpful for Bears games, major concerts, and other high-demand events.
• General admission: Most sporting events use reserved seating, while some concerts offer general admission floor configurations for a more flexible, standing-room-style experience.

Soldier Field Seating Chart

You can view an interactive seating map for Soldier Field events directly on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com while browsing available listings. The map lets you compare sections side by side, check row depth and distance from the field or stage, and see real-time pricing for what's currently available — all before committing to a purchase.

Can I See Where My Seats Are?

Yes. The interactive seat map on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com shows your exact section and row placement before you buy. Use it to understand your position in the venue, your distance from the field or stage, and whether you're in the lower bowl, on the United Club level, or up in the upper deck — so the tickets you choose match exactly what you're looking for on event night.

Getting Ready for Your Soldier Field Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at an open-air lakefront stadium where crowds, weather, and arrival routes can all affect event day.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Large crowds can congest mobile networks around Soldier Field. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the gate without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Parking lots and Lake Shore Drive can congest well before kickoff or showtime, and post-event egress is often slow.
• Wear the right footwear. Expect walking across the Museum Campus, stadium concourses, and stairs within the bowl, so comfortable shoes make the day easier.
• Dress in layers. Soldier Field’s open-air lakefront location is exposed to wind, cold, rain, and temperature swings, especially for late-season Bears games.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Transit is practical, but most routes involve a walk from nearby stations or connections, and large crowds can slow movement around the Museum Campus.
• Know your entrance. Your gate and section information on the ticket helps you head to the right side of the stadium before you reach the perimeter.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
