(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?

Bill Lundberg 01-04-2011 11:15 AM

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.

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.

DaFace 01-04-2011 11:37 AM

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.
