(4) - Lower Level Tickets Available
 

I've got 4 tickets available for face value. If you're interested let me know. I would be willing to split them in pairs, but would prefer to sell them all 4.


Section 111
Row 15
Seats 7-10

I'm pretty sure this puts you right next to Iowanian, Bob Dole and First Down Elvis.

How much?

The tickets are $112 and I paid a $9.60 ticketmaster service fee.

$121.60

Good luck with the sale, Bill.

I'm amazed at the number of tickets available. People just aren't interested in going, or have no clue how much tickets actually cost.

People think (incorrectly) that prices on CL and Ebay are too high and aren't buying.

My tickets, for example, are upper level and cost $115 per. For some reason, people are expecting to get tickets at regular season face value.

First home playoff game in 7 years and demand is low? Incredible....what has happened to our fanbase??

It's ****ing sad.

Search completed listings on Ebay, and you'll see a bunch that didn't sell, and a lot that sold for face value or LESS.

I had an extra pair of 1st row uppers and didn't get a bite.

Well, they did sell out within 24 hours (exempting club level seats). I think that a lot of the perceived lack in demand for secondary sales is due to the fact that there are so many reputable options now to find tickets.

Seven years ago, if you wanted to get tickets to a playoff game and didn't get in during the Chiefs sale, you'd have to buy tickets from a scalper or on eBay, while people who bought tickets but weren't able to go end up either eating their tickets or giving them away to friends.

Now, you've got a ton of options (Ticket Exchange, StubHub, eBay) that make it easier than ever for people to buy tickets from other people. Easier exchange = more tickets "available" = lower prices.

(Though there's no question that the economy/withering fan base interest has a lot to do with it as well.)

What the hell? Mine were $99 each after all fees and I am in Sec 111 row 27. I bought them two weeks ago through my season ticket account. Go figure...

I believe STH's got a better price, just like they do in the regular season.

This is the other problem. Tons of people (like yourself) bought extra tickets hoping to make a quick buck on them. Seven years ago, doing that would have taken a lot of effort. These days, it's easy for people to sell, so a bunch of people jumped in expecting prices to be higher than face in the secondary market. That's caused supply to be higher than demand.

P.S. Part of the reason why teams have raised prices over the past decade was to try and reduce secondary sales. They don't make any money when a ticket is sold over face. So, they raise prices up closer to market value so that the team can make the profit instead of the scalper. Sounds to me like the Chiefs priced the playoff tickets pretty close to market value this time around.

I'm sorry, but if a supply of a few thousand tickets - in a stadium that holds 77,000 - is greater than the demand to see the first home playoff game in forever - then yeah, this fanbase sucks balls.

I think you missed part of my post - people aren't willing to buy even at face value.

Because they don't HAVE to. It has nothing to do with willingness to pay. It has to do with # of tickets available vs. # of people looking.

I just sold my last 4 tickets at face value, they'd been up on Craigslist at what I thought was a reasonable premium for standing out in the cold for 2 hours when they went on sale to Jackson County, got no takers. Found a friend of a friend who is a Chiefs fan and sold them at face value.

I'm betting there are empty seats for this game.

I don't know what to tell you. That's the exact amount printed on the tickets. I'm not trying to make any $$ on these, just want to make sure they go to a Chiefs fan.

Someone got a good deal.

This is what I paid for 2 upper level through the Season Ticket Holder presale.

Im starting to think that theres an older generation of Chiefs fans who have moved on/passed on, and a younger generation of fans who are just not as loyal. Hard to get a true sense on here, since most of us are obviously die hards.

The height of Martymania was a long time ago now.....

I tend to agree with that.

However, I also saw a huge spike in available tickets after the abortion on Sunday.

I honestly think there are a LOT of people that don't want to spend the money to watch us get whipped - their thoughts, obviously not mine, as I'm traveling 4 hours each way for this.

In a metro area of 2M, tickets should be at a premium for a playoff game, much less when it's the first one in forever. That is, if people gave a damn.

There aren't THAT many tickets out there. Hell, there's only 500 listings on Ebay right now. That's nothing.

A lot of this. Even though my age group is a little too young to be buying tickets, I've always felt like a minority because everyone else is a fan on a bandwagon team (Cowboy or Pats), Rams, or Bronco/Raider fans with a larger portion of ambivalence in others. Even if there are a good portion of 26 year olds and younger who are fans, they dont have the money to buy tickets at market value.

I bought 4 tickets pretty high up on Stubhub early on and then came across some better seats. I ended up selling the original tickets for about a $50 loss. I went through 2 full auctions on eBay and had them on CL just trying to get my money back and didn't get any interest at all.

I probably overpaid for them, but I was really surprised at the lack of demand. I thought it would ramp up once the schedule was set, but the market actually got worse.

PM sent

Sounds like there's going to be a lot of Ravens fans on Sunday.

One thing's for sure, at its peak Arrowhead beats Qwest Field, but overall those fans >> KC fans by a large margin.

I possibly have two in Section 122, Row 18 for $131 each ($262) total...

Thanks to Jasonsauto and Munson they are sold!

Good to hear.

Have fun, guys.

That's three rows above me.

thanks.

Yeah - I regretted immediately selling mine last week. I made about $25 a seat which was moderate. But I anticipated that I could have made $50-100 per seat if I had held until this week when Jets/Ravens fans came on the market.

I think the Chiefs dismal performance Sunday put the majority of Chiefs fans off. The majority of ticket buyers aren't spending playoff ticket money to go sit in the cold for a repeat of last Sunday so that's why the market is jacked. It's good for Ravens fans. They'll soak up a lot of tickets at face or very near it.

I regret more that I sold them to a personal friend of mine. I feel bad for him. But I guess it's not my fault the Chiefs got destroyed by the Raiders. When I sold them to him last week, he got a very good price.

Are yours season tickets, or did you get them just for the game? There's a lot of good people in that section.

Season tickets.

Agree 100%.

Which is sad. IMO, you can't take playoff appearances for granted. There's no telling when the next one will be.

sounds like you're bitter because you wanted to make a quick buck and it didn't happen...

This is a heavily abused fanbase. I can't say I blame them.

we werent going to go, have some family stuff going on, but i felt this same way... the wife actually agreed, +10 for her

well I'll be there...making the trip...so if we lose you can all blame me

Not at all. It would have been nice to make $50 to put towards the trip, but I'm happy that a CP'er, who wouldn't get to go otherwise, is getting GREAT seats for face.

Good woman.

HDTV, bad economy, cheaper food/beer in your own home, raised ticket prices.

At some point people take a step back and ask themselves if "a game" is really worth it, especially in times like these.

Mostly, when people start "cutting back" on expenses, usually the leisure/entertainment sector is the first to get cut, etc.

They think they can't sell out now......wait and see what happens if there is a lockout in 2011.

ROFL i would appreciate if no one told her this but i agree.

theres a reason i call her my better half.

there will never be a lockout in the NFL

the NFL is too big

I'll ask a couple of the people I have mentioned my tickets too. That close to my awesomeness might be enough to add value.

Playoff tickets...lower bowl.....for a playoff game.....this is a great deal.

let me know when you know you do

Ultimately if crowd noise really makes a huge difference in the game, the team would have been better off to give those seats away to people at Chiefs rallies...the die hards who would be pounding the bejezus out of those seats like you guys did MNF. A home playoff win would mean a lot more to the team than profit in the long term, IMO. But that's not how business works.

They are already sold.

Sauto and Munson bucked up.

Tell that to 1982.

You got the weekend off?

NFL wasn't close to as big in 1982 as it is today...

so you tell that to 1982

but if anyone wants to make any bets about a 2011 lockout...let me know

That's the price on the tickets I bought for $125 each here yesterday. I'm still convinced it's a good deal.

I guarantee I can have $200 worth of fun Sunday.

I've flip flopped so many times over the last couple weeks whether or not I should go. I finally made up my mind. I tried to buy some tickets yesterday, but that fell through. Now, thanks to Bill Lundberg, I'll be in the stands making some noise. I haven't been to a playoff game since January '96, when a certain kicker ruined our Super Bowl dreams. Its been 15 years, and I need redemption!

Love it!!!! Thanks for being part of the greatest fans in the NFL!!!!

Sent you a PM. He gets first dibs, but if anyone else is interested send me a PM.

this will also be my first playoff game since 1996 when I was 10 friggin' years old...

Yep. I paid $230 for a pair of tickets in 340 row 3.

shit.

i was sending you an invoice. your ticket value just went up due to being close to me.

we will have to get together prior. and i used you for a reference here. lol

You'd better bring me a rebate if you're going to lower property values like that.

Mo is making me a custom shank in case the autograph seekers get too touchy.

Have I ever mentioned Chiefs fans are incredibly fickle? LMAO

Not that I wasn't pissed that I showed up last week and the Chiefs decided it wasn't important enough to give much of an effort towards beating the Raiders... but to think that they'll be absent this weekend is absurd. They might get beat, but it'll be due to playing a better, more experienced, more battle-tested team.

I was arguing a few weeks ago that there's no reason to expect Chiefs fans to pay $100+ to see the Chiefs/Titans, and I understand the empty seats last week... but this is completely different. It's the playoffs, and if there aren't 78,000 Chiefs fans willing to show up Sunday, I'm going with "this fanbase sucks balls."

LOL, Reference? We can definitely get together. I'll be spending a majority of my time at Luv's and Monte's tailgate, but if you're not going to be there, I'm down to move around some. I've gotten a few open invites to ChenzA's dad's tailgate. I'm not sure where all I'll be, but you can almost assuredly find me near the CP tailgate.

I yelled so loud for so long a the Indy Playoff game, that I thought I had a brain aneurysm...I literally blacked out. My head hurt as bad as it ever has, and I could "feel" bruised veins in my head for days afterwards...and had no voice.

I've been practicing for this game all year. I've got a 5 and 2yr old who have been helping me keep my vocals in tune for this very occasion. I just hope I don't have to say "StOP THAT" and "CASSEL DON'T" very much.

Are there any of the VIP/Club Level (not sure which is correct) left?

word...

I'm going to be a loud mother ****er at the game...this is my first game at Arrowhead this year and the first game at Arrowhead that meant anything since the Thanksgiving game a few years back...

I'm bringing my A game to the game Sunday.

Goddamn.

That's all I wanted for mine - an extra $50.

Front row, 316.

I was actually pretty pissed when I checked the cheapest option available and saw 2 tickets in 340 row 30 for half that price. I thought to myself "Half ****ing price for 27 more rows of stairs to climb?" I almost emailed the front office, but decided not to waste my time. I would've gotten one of these;

Dude, I promise - you'll be MUCH happier with where you are instead of needing a sherpa to get to your seats.

Yeah, I'm good with it. I'm actually glad I didn't have the option, because I know the view is going to be much better where I'm at. I haven't been to Arrowhead as many times as most of you guys, but I'd actually say those seats have one of the best views in the house.

I think you can still buy them from Ticketmaster.

I do, but work monday morning at 6am, so can't party my ass off all day sunday

Yep.

http://i53.tinypic.com/20go6k3.jpg

Dude...I'm working at 8am on Monday after driving back from the game. It's a 10-hour drive. You can make it work. :)

Sent you a text.

omg $339 per ticket, that is absurd.

Thanks.

And people wonder why the club level is empty every game.

Those tickets go for $250 give-or-take during the regular season.

Or you could buy mine and sit by Luv :D

YOu still got em, I'd bite on those!

You're 3rd in line.

I have someone that wants them, but is looking for someone to go with.

I have someone else that seems to be interested if that falls through.

Remember the numbers that are involved here, fellas.

If you go on EBAY/Craigslist and find 1,000 tickets available, it sounds like a ton.

However, 1,000 empty seats out of 77K is nothing. And moreover, those seats will probably still sell. Ultimately you're just talking about a very large stadium to fill, a lot of seats availalbe to sit in and thus a lot of folks that are going to not be able to make it for one reason or another.

Oh yeah, and the economy still blows.

I'm not going to disparage the fanbase here. We wandered the wilderness for a lot of years with this club and it's going to take a bit to get folks excited again, especially in a down economy.
