Radio host Mike Mulligan of the Mully and Haugh Show torched the Chicago Beats for raising ticket prices despite producing unfavorable results.
Earlier this week, the Bears announced they are upping ticket prices by 10 percent just one year after putting them up to eight percent.
Speaking on the 670 The Score on Thursday, Mulligan went off about the increase and flamed the team’s performances.
‘What are good reasons to get a refund?’ Mulligan said. ‘We got lawyers out there, someone ought to sue these guys for withholding so much taxes because that team was God-awful last year.
‘How was their record at home? How bad have they been especially after nobody was allowed to swear at Hard Knocks and everybody had to swear all season long? Give me a break.’
‘You should win before you start raising prices an average of 10 percent. I get it, they got a lot of expenses. They gotta pay off coaches, they gotta buy new coaches, they need players, why are you handing that on to the public?’
Mully is disgusted by the Bears raising ticket prices by 10% just one year after raising them 8%.”How was the record at home?” he says. “How bad have they been? Nobody was allowed to swear on Hard Knocks, then everybody (the fans) had to swear the whole season long.” pic.twitter.com/eEyWvWnGNH

In a letter to fans, Bears President and CEO Kevin Warren said that the team evaluated several factors before locking in a plan to raise prices for season tickets at Soldier Field.
‘After careful and thoughtful consideration – incorporating market dynamics, industry trends, and a strong home schedule – an average increase of 10 percent for our 2025 season ticket package will be insтιтuted,’ Warren said.
The Bears are coming off a 5-12 season, finishing at the bottom of the NFC North.
Furthermore, they have not made the playoffs since their 2020 wild-card appearance.
‘Why mismanage your business and then charge the public more?’ Mulligan asked. ‘Because, as we said, nobody sells losing like the Bears, and none charges [more] for it now either.’
‘Just insane that they raised the prices and that was before the salary cap went up. Could there be a worse look than raising prices after the season they just experienced? Nobody feels like this is wise and nobody thinks they’re getting a good deal.’

Despite their recent results, there is growing optimism around the Bears after hiring Ben Johnson as head coach, which Warren addressed in his letter.
He also promised that the front office would be aggressive in free agency and the draft, where they hold three of the top 41 picks.
Chicago’s home schedule will include games against their traditional rivals; the Green Bay Packers, Detroit Lions, and Minnesota Vikings, who all made the playoffs this past season.
Furthermore, they will host historically successful franchises in the Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers.
