It says that Chicago Bears tickets to this game are now offered as low as $13 a ticket. Not that they are selling at that price, but that is the going offer now (at Vividseats.com... LOL, they still have 22 seats unsold & available at that price this morning... I just checked). Thirteen bucks for an NFL ticket. And still can't sell 'em. Holy cow :-)

Bears vs. Browns shaping up to be battle of futility in Week 16
The Chicago Bears and Cleveland Browns are set to play on Christmas Eve at Soldier Field.
Chicago Bears fans have had little to feel good about this season, so what will be their gift on Christmas Eve? A home game against the winless Cleveland Browns.
While the game is shaping up to be a winnable one for a Bears team that is favored by seven points at the start of the week, a win will do very little in terms of the overall standing of the organization. Fans should feel good about the fact that they have a young quarterback to build around in Mitch Trubisky, but with so much uncertainty facing the coaching staff and the organization as whole, there is little to be excited about with the team at this point.
Since head coach John Fox took over in 2015 the team has won just 13 games. On the other side of the field on Sunday a Browns team that has just four wins since 2015 will not help the fledgling Bears fill Soldier Field.
Attendance has been a major issue for Chicago over the course of the last two seasons. In the team's last home game against the San Francisco 49ers on December 3, Chicago saw an attendance of 52,813 people with 8,489 tickets going unused. Back in mid-November the team saw a game in which there were over 10,000 tickets that went unused.
Many factors are setting up for Sunday's final home game to be the least attended of the season for Chicago. The Bears also held a home game on Christmas Eve last season at Soldier Field and numbers were down drastically for a three-win team. The Bears announced their Week 16 matchup against the Washington Redskins drew a crowd of 39,837 people—in a stadium that holds 61,500 fans—leaving 21,663 empty seats.
