This isn't some special offer. When prices were announced you could have chosen to sit up there rather than to renew where you are.
I don't understand how people can see that these tickets are available to whoever wants them......

The Chiefs are HURTING to sell tickets. They are marketing to anyone/everyone. They did this same type of thing prior to Carl coming to town.

The point is, they'll make better deals to people who haven't supported them for years. I'm not saying my seats should cost $25 ea, but they've discounted the more expensive seats, or given away merchandise and stuff to people who buy late in the year to avoid blackouts. I'm just saying they don't give the best deals to their best customers like other businesses do.

Damnit, I gave up my season tickets this year because they were $900, and this thread got me to thinking if we had $250 tickets in SD.

I went and checked and the Cheapest are $480 in the Family Section in Upper View (4 sections of seats), which are all sold out. The next cheapest is $630.

Dude, what do you expect them to do? If you were selling a product and your sales were down, you reduce your prices...but you were not screwing the people who already bought it because they obviously felt it was worth it when they paid.

...I guarantee you the Chiefs didn't want to lower their prices, so they were not screwing anyone...

It's crazy. Why can I, Joe Blow, be able to buy lower level seats between the 35 and 50 for 20% above season ticket prices "willy nilly?" I'm just someone who has money willing to buy a couple of seats where precious seats have been held for years. BTW, the 20% premium is less than the same seat for a single game. I repeat, IT'S CRAZY!!!

Perhaps a lot of companies used to do that, but I'm not sure I can think of any good examples these days. Most companies give you the best deals to start doing business with them, then hope you'll hang on after they bump their prices up.

My season tickets went down in price this year. Last year they were $780 this year $590. I also could have gotten a lower price by changing seats during relocation.

You got better seats for $590?

Got this in my company email yesterday.

Those $250 seats will be perfect for you Cessna employees. You will get to see a lot of your work up close as they buzz your head.

He works out at Boeing (maybe "Spirit" now). Met him at a few of the gatherings in Wichita. Super nice guy, too bad he doesn't frequent the planet anymore.

Sounds like you should know better if this has happened to you before.

For $250 I would def take that deal. The Metro is very close to my house in Blue Springs.

LOL

wow, the Patriotification of the Chiefs continue....
