I think they win in the end anyhow.
They might not get 100s of dollars for the free tickets but they will make sure that they use them, any tickets they can't use or give to friends and family, as toilet paper.
They seem like A -holes who would do something like that.

Anything that makes it harder for them to move them and get what they were expecting

Have you ever wiped your poop chute with a ticket? It’s not the thrill you might think it is

Well, everyone loses. I am fine with them not getting any money but I would want the tickets to go to fans who actually would appreciate the free tickets.

Oh I agree with that. But the Bears would have to not use ticketmaster for that to happen

Agreed but they're far from fucked. Plenty of time to list on auction sites or Craig's list etc,

Thought I'd check.
Here's some that already sold pretty cheap. Looks like scalper(s) all from Fort Lauderdale that don't understand the value. These will all be cancelled via ticketmaster which is a shame as they were reasonable.

I'm pro open free market. If someone wants to buy a FREE ticket for $400, who are you to tell me I cant sell them. Instead of getting mad at the re-seller's, direct your anger to the Bears who came up with this shit-show idea. They should of left training camp where it was at Olivete Nazarene. When it was free and enough room for whoever wanted to come.

That's why I'm blaming the Bears and not ticketmaster or StubHub. The Bears know what they do, and they let them run the show. Don't call them free tickets if you have no plans to make sure fans get them for free.

They should charge enough to hire someone to distribute them fairly.

The problem for teams is if they charge for the tickets, than other teams are allowed to buy the tickets and watch the Bears practices. That came up a several years ago when one of the teams (can't remember who) started to charge for practices.

Wait, other teams can’t grab the free ones? Or buy the “free” ones off a ticket resale site?

That was my understanding. Other teams could not/cannot attend the open training camp practices as long as the team offered tickets are free.
Found an old article on it:

Free tickets with a service fee then. What would stop them from buying ticketson Ebay/Stubhub/Ticketmaster etc?That was my understanding. Other teams could not/cannot attend the open training camp practices as long as the team offered tickets are free.

If I understood it correctly, there is an otherwise obscure NFL rule that makes that illegal. I tried doing a quick google search, but there was nothing obvious to find if that is still a rule. However, judging by the vast majority of teams using free tickets for training camp and how otherwise greedy NFL owners are as a group, I assume that rule is still in effect.
Now, policing it is probably a different story and likely why so many teams are very restrictive even to fans on taking pictures and videos of the practices. But theoretically, if they got caught like that dumbass from Michigan there would be some sort of penalty issued by the league - I am guessing fines and loss of draft picks or something.

I'd think that correct but how much 'unique' is a team going to show in an open practice without game planning anyway.

Yeah, I don't know what to tell you there. Perception is probably bigger than the reality on that one in regards to how much you can take away from it. But, if nothing else, it would probably reveal at least some players strengths and weaknesses that could be exploited in the eventual game planning - or maybe would give hints on where to focus on game tape to find those same strengths and weaknesses. But, I'm just guessing.
