Bypassing the Random Selection Process
Premium Parking
You may bypass the Random Selection Process by purchasing season Premium Parking passes for the South Lot, Burnham Harbor Lot, or at the Adler Lot for Chicago Bears’ games during the 2026 NFL season. Reservations for the purchase of season Premium Parking passes will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis. If a parking option is not shown on the website, it means it is no longer available. Please check back at a later time to see if more Premium Parking has been made available.
The cost of Premium Parking season passes for ten (10) games—including one (1) pre-season games and nine (9) regular–season games—is $1,300.00, plus a $28.00 Administrative Service Fee (a total cost of $1,328.00). The cost of any potential home playoff games is not included in this price. Additional details are available on the purchase website.
