Season Tickets - People not giving them up..

dtebbe · 03-31-2008, 01:17 PM

Despite all the doom and gloom predications, season ticket holders must not be giving up their seats. I just called for my upgrade day, and there was nothing but singles in the lower level, nothing in club, and the best uppers were 305 row 16.

From what I've seen in the past, I'm really not surprised.... people (myself included) keep holding on hoping for a miracle.

People dont want to give them up because they are afraid the Chiefs will be good again 2 to 3 years down the road.

They are willing to wait it out a few years.

Now, if the Chiefs go through 1 or 2 more seasons like last year, you might start seeing some significant numbers of drops.

I personally thank all the people that keep their tickets, it keeps it likely that I will get to see the Chiefs on TV.

I have too much fun tailgating and hanging with my pals to give up the tix. I have had them since 1988 and about 14 of us all sit in the same section within 4 or 5 rows. we have it too good to give em up. I will be that guy that is still there if they go 1-15 for three years in a row.

Carl Peterson thanks them more than you. He will likely keep his job until the tickets sales fall off.

Carl and those of us who watch on TV thank you. YOU are a real Chiefs fan.

BTW, I only went down 6 rows this year also.

BTW, has there ever been any talk with all the stadium improvements that the CHiefs will ask people to start paying for PSL's?? Personal Seat Licenses.

**wazu** · 04-01-2008, 07:53 AM

This is depressing. Section 305? Really? They must have given first crack to all of the club level people that they were kicking out. It's the only explanation. What you are describing sounds worse than after a playoff year.

BigChiefFan · 04-01-2008, 08:00 AM

That's funny, because the Red Coater I spoke to said they were hearing alot of complaints and had several non-renewals, myself included.

I sent a link to your deal to a friend in Nebraska. You may hear from someone who wants to split with you/

Yeah its pretty bad that I've got lower level seats 12 rows off the field on the aisle and I can't find anyone to split the tickets.

But then there are no major upgrades in seats because King Carl is holding them back for the Wolfpack club.
