Minnesota Vikings vs. Chicago Bears TCF Bank Stadium Tickets NOW AVAILABLE



If you're looking for Minnesota Vikings vs. Chicago Bears tickets for the game this Monday, December 20th at 7:30, I've got good news for you.  My boss just informed me that we have started re-selling tickets for the game, with upper levels at $75 and lowers at $150.  However, you must understand that there IS still a possibility that you would be turned away at the gate if they do reach capacity before you arrive.  As you may know, TCF Bank Stadium does not hold as many people as the Metrodome did and unfortunately the Vikings sold more tickets than there are seats.  From what we've been seeing lately, a lot of our customers are opting out of going to the game and instead choosing to receive an in-store credit with us.  That means they're basically giving up their seats so the die-hard fans can still gather together to watch the game.  Just remember, we're in Minnesota and this is an evening game in the middle of December.  So it WILL be very cold.  Please dress for it!  If you're interested in tickets, give us a call right now at 612-341-4131.
