O.K., O.K., the members of One Direction—despite the image above—are not in fact joining the Chicago Bears. Though considering how the team is playing this season maybe they should. HEY NOW!

Actually, One Direction will be playing Soldier Field on Aug. 29, 2014 and general tickets go on sale Dec. 7, but if your parents have the appropriate credit card (what One Direction fan actually has a credit card?!) you can get them starting today or RSVP to Facebook for your chance to buy them Dec. 3.

When buying tickets to 1D be careful not to confuse them with that other act that has already announced an August 2014 Chicago concert date, Arcade Fire. That would really be a bummer for the kids.
