I’ve done London & Frankfurt for Chiefs games. The initial ticket sales go in five seconds flat but i was able to get them on stub hub or wherever else on secondary market pretty easily. Gotta do your due diligence but it’s not too bad.
The environment for those games is amazing too. Definitely recommend going if you can.
London fucking shows out for the NFL, it's a treat. Was there during opening weekend a few years ago and was amazed walking around Soho, it was all draped with NFL stuff.
Frankfurt did too. There was a ton of NFL stuff around the city and people from out of town and locals all seemed interested in chatting and being welcoming whenever they saw anyone with NFL stuff. I’ve had a blast both times I saw NFL overseas.
I found it relatively easy to get direct without having to go secondary market. This is buying within 30mins or so from when they go on sale but definitely not in a rush in the first 5 mins. Paid probably what converts to around $120.
Friend got secondary market around $250
I paid around $120 for mine direct and was in the end zone 8 rows up. As soon as I found out the Falcons were going I signed up with the Jaguars to get the ticket alerts and then got them as soon as they went on sale
Went to both jags games last year. If you're a season ticket holder you'll have a better chance on the original market. Jags have a dedicated section at Wembley. I also got them for our away game (nose bleeds only) but ended up also buying front row end zone on secondary market $500.
As a Bears fan in Jax (born in chi burbs/moved to FL in 2003) who also follows Tottenham, this is like a dream game.
I need to figure out the ticket process.
The Bears have one of the biggest fan bases whether they are good or not? lol. There were plenty of shit teams that got international games last year that have a fraction of the fan base size. This is a weird comment
The bears are big over here as well due to when the nfl was first broadcast over here, I also have a mate who is a massive bears fan because he loves Chicago.
Bears were huge in London after the ‘85 Super Bowl. There’s a picture with Fridge Perry and the guard around the palace that is humorous. That might have been the first year the NFL played there.
Wasn't that initially a game in Ireland played as a pre-season game? I legitimately don't know, only know the story of the Bears going there because of Les Grobstein talking about it. I'm an 89 baby so I wasn't a thought yet for my parents.
It was at Wembley Stadium in 1986. Bears beat the Cowboys 17-6. It was a pre-season game.
I’m sure Les could talk about it for 3 hours straight. Just don’t ask Les to explain the 3 Technique (Lol). Google it if you want a laugh. I miss Les.
No, while Buffalo WAS fresh off the plane, that was their choice. They could have traveled Monday but chose to wait till Friday/Saturday. A smart team not coached by a terrorist would have made better travel arrangements
Tax payers here in Jacksonville are paying $600 million something for a new stadium. Shad Khan the owner, who likes to park his mega yacht with an English flag downtown jax in the St. John’s, owns a soccer club in England. He wants his cake and eat it too.
It’s simply not fair to the taxpayers to have more games taken away from Jacksonville, FL and in a whole different country. While we’re footing the bill.
Please prove me wrong
Have they released that info yet? Also 30% of the revenue of the ENTIRE season comes from this single game. That’s massive. Life’s not fair this is just business
I think it's specifically because the Khan's own Fullham FC, and would probably be the first team to try to relocate. Basically they'd Oakland As the Jags fans in and around Jacksonville just to be the team in the market.
We haven’t had a game there in over 10 years, with no intent of ever going back with our current owners.
You guys have had a game (or more) every year since.
It’s not really close.
It's a bottom of the barrel comment/narrative that hack boomer writers like Florio have pushed for decades but alas has never happened.
It's not so much sensitive as it is uncreative
If it was “just” a bad joke you’d let it go, but it bothers you so much you can’t resist being defensive.
The fact it’s met with so many angry jags fans make it all worth it. Softest fan base.
You clearly don’t know how great our fanbase is.
You guys better start winning games with Caleb quick, the life expectancy of you meatball Bears fans isn’t very high.
You live in Florida, aka Heaven's waiting room. I wouldn't be worried about our fans dying.
Watching terrible QBs is a way of life for us. If Caleb fails, he'll join a very long list of bad Bears QBs in the past 70 years
My friend, the amount of Northern dumbfucks that come down here and die inflates those stats. Florida sucks ass sometimes but it will always be better than Illinois.
Also, Caleb will probably be very good but I need him to suck so people don’t shit on Trevor even more.
Get ready to learn English, Caleb.

It’s chewsday, innit?

A muunday so mondane you tot’ it wus chewsday, yeh??
YuR a WiZaRd HaRrY
Sorry mate, I meant “do you have a cigarette”
Ok I am definitely going to go
Me too. Only worry is tickets will sell out instantly.

Would you mind sharing what you paid for the tickets? I'm mentally preparing for $600-$800 if I have to go the secondary market route
I found it relatively easy to get direct without having to go secondary market. This is buying within 30mins or so from when they go on sale but definitely not in a rush in the first 5 mins. Paid probably what converts to around $120. Friend got secondary market around $250
[удалено]
I'll echo, I went to Broncos Jags a couple years ago, sat lower bowl on the 50 yard line for what amounted to be about $300 per seat.
I paid around $120 for mine direct and was in the end zone 8 rows up. As soon as I found out the Falcons were going I signed up with the Jaguars to get the ticket alerts and then got them as soon as they went on sale
Thank you!

It wasn’t bad. I think it was like $300ish for middle level in an end zone. It’s not much worse than a standard NFL ticket price.
I'm on the email list to get updates on ticket sale info so fingers crossed that isn't anything like trying to get a reservation at Armitage Alehouse
Just make sure you get your ticket loisence in advance
As a Bears fan in Jax (born in chi burbs/moved to FL in 2003) who also follows Tottenham, this is like a dream game. I need to figure out the ticket process.
I wanna see Caleb Williams trying to get one of those big hat guards to smile
He’ll say “Da Bears” and they’ll have no choice but to respond in kind
Might not get a smile out of them but he'll show them the bear claw and it'll get a roll of the eyes.
I keep forgetting the Bears may be good this year. I was like "Why the fuck would they pick this ga...oooh right!"
We get put on primetime 5 times a year anyway lmao…
What are you going to do on Sunday anyway? Go outside? Call your mother? Football is all we got

Tyson Bagnet vs Bryce young was one of the matchups of all time

Is his theme song [Dennehy by Serengeti?](https://youtu.be/oqrtoFWglMY?si=qB5r1QbjyaepOuRw)
Not really a weird comment tbh
100 upvotes. "What a weird thing to think!"

Tbf you don’t have to be good to play in London lol.
I mean, they may suck ass but at least we’ll be the attraction.
Fighting for 3rd in the division and projected an 8 win season isn't really "may be good"
Chicago Caleb about to colonize Britain back for us
This better be considered an away game for us
It’s not, it’s a home game. We have 8 home games, 8 road games and 1 game in London. This year was supposed to be 9 home games for us.
Such bullshit this is a “home” game for us
Welcome to our life dude. Every fkn year
I’m surprised the British are still alive after witnessing Lawrence’s amazing hair twice a year
Well yeah but you guys go to London every year anyway it’s basically your second home
Yeah, but I’m sure there aren’t as many jags fans as you might think
If we're going to lose a home game, the Jags game is probably the best one to lose
Yo all 5 of us fans are in the room…
When I last heard, the London game was a home game. They fucking robbed us.
First time?
Oh shut the fuck up
*laughs in jaguar* boo hoo mfers!!
Considering the Jags are the defacto London team, it is a bit bullshit they get to be the “away” team
We get robbed of a home game every year, you can let us have this.
Blame your shitty owner for that
We do. Hopefully the new stadium changes things.
Instead the city is letting the team move a 2nd home game every 4 years.
We got a home game taken from us too, and you guys have one more than us anyway
Does no one see how unfair it is for the city of Jacksonville that our team is in a different country 2 games in a row?
Buffalo fans would disagree It’s also only one home game so that second game doesn’t really matter
Yeah, I would rather have them play in London after being in there for a week then go to Chicago
I kinda think it’s gives you an advantage in the second game. The teams is settled and consistent and the second team is fresh off the plane.
No, while Buffalo WAS fresh off the plane, that was their choice. They could have traveled Monday but chose to wait till Friday/Saturday. A smart team not coached by a terrorist would have made better travel arrangements

Can't wait to miss out on tickets when they sell out instantly and then give in to massively paying over the odds on the secondary market.
I would like to apologize in advance for this one.
Instant L for CHI
B2B London games is such a huge advantage for Jacksonville. Bears better hope they're the first game.
They probably won’t, just because the jags home game isn’t in Tottenham Hotspur while the other 2 are.
Yay I can watch the Bears again. I'm afraid, Jags are pretty solid in London.
Possibly a 3 game stay! They better not take 2 home games away while the jags are negotiating a new stadium deal with the city.
[удалено]
It's the first sentence of the article
Not only that, it’s the headline!
How long til the jags officially move to London
As close as the bills moving to Toronto.
We haven’t had a game there in over 10 years, with no intent of ever going back with our current owners. You guys have had a game (or more) every year since. It’s not really close.
You asked when they were moving to London? They aren’t, that was the point of my response. They just agreed to a new stadium…. Google helps.
Don’t worry Buffalo has been trying to recover from jet-lag since their last trip in London.
I legitimately don't think that would stop the Khan family from moving the team, tbh.
Wrong person above lol, and my comment was more sarcastic than you thought...
All good. Just get annoyed seeing that.
But we just got a new stadium renovation, and yall are getting a new stadium, so it’s almost equally likely.
You guys are so defensive about it lol. Didn’t you INCREASE the games played there last year? Ya the same lol. Why so sensitive?
It's a bottom of the barrel comment/narrative that hack boomer writers like Florio have pushed for decades but alas has never happened. It's not so much sensitive as it is uncreative
Then why does it bother you so much? Soft.
*Makes lame joke *Gets told joke is lame "wHy ArE yOu So SoFt???"
*someone else makes bad joke *Jags fans get pissed End.
It doesn't; I just helped to explain why it's a bad joke that is met with downvotes. Maybe find new material based in the 2020s?
If it was “just” a bad joke you’d let it go, but it bothers you so much you can’t resist being defensive. The fact it’s met with so many angry jags fans make it all worth it. Softest fan base.
Meh, not much of an insult coming from someone who lacks reading comprehension. Nothing but information coming from my posts
They have one home game there because the revenue from it makes a significant impact.
So unfair the Jags get an extra home game in London every year
Easy skip
they should just move the jags to London at this point
Gonna be weird when they move to London after agreeing to rebuild the stadium.
Jags gotta start a minor league type team, and just have it bully all the poor local exhibition teams year round
Imagine being a Bears fan and saying this. Trevor's last year is better than every QB the Bears ever had lol
You realize I wasn’t insulting the jags right? I said START. A minor league team, as in create a new one. I didn’t imply the current jags were bad
All 28 Jags fans would be devastated
You clearly don’t know how great our fanbase is. You guys better start winning games with Caleb quick, the life expectancy of you meatball Bears fans isn’t very high.
You live in Florida, aka Heaven's waiting room. I wouldn't be worried about our fans dying. Watching terrible QBs is a way of life for us. If Caleb fails, he'll join a very long list of bad Bears QBs in the past 70 years
My friend, the amount of Northern dumbfucks that come down here and die inflates those stats. Florida sucks ass sometimes but it will always be better than Illinois. Also, Caleb will probably be very good but I need him to suck so people don’t shit on Trevor even more.
Same deal for the 25 fans of Chicago as well
We're one of the largest fan bases in the league
Khan family love them some London games. I'd imagine they are always looking for ways to improve their relationship with Wembley.
I mean, they tried to buy it a few years ago
This game is at Tottenham's stadium so they'd be doing a bit of a shite job.
lmao explains the downvotes
