Chiefs Discounted Season Tickets

Scaga · 05-21-2009, 10:46 AM

So I'm sitting here minding my own business at lunch and I'm checking out the company discounts. I work at Cessna here in Wichita, so Lord knows there ain't much happening! I happen to run across this little jewel:

NEW Kansas City Chiefs tickets: limited number of $250 Full Season Tickets for all Cessna employees, as well as their family and friends. Lower level seats and Group opportunities are also available. Please contact Tyler Kirby directly at (816) 920-4824 or tkirby@chiefs.nfl.com with any questions or to reserve seats.

How desparate are they anyway?

supposely only 33,00 season tickets were sold compared to 71,000 just 2 years ago.

I'm pretty sure you are looking at purchasing tickets in the Red Reserve areas. Though for 10 games I'd take it if I didn't have to drive from Springfield.

So do I count as your friend?

I paid more than $250 for the preseason games alone...

Hence why I didn't renew this year.

The Chiefs always make special offers on season tickets AFTER they screw over their best customers, the guys who had to pay for their tickets in full up front.
Mine were over $1,000 each for 3 plus parking pass.

They did that last year....

They screwed all of the season ticket holders for $1600 and then they were basically giving away free tickets by the end of the year while all of the suckers already ponied up their $80 per game including the preseasons scrimmages.

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...

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......

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

**DaFace** · 05-21-2009, 10:58 AM

That's not a discounted price necessarily. Their new pricing scheme includes a handful of seats that are $250 for the season. They're all the way up in the top corners though.

If anyone is interested, I'd make the call to find out details.

Fish · 05-21-2009, 11:02 AM

Anyone can get $250 full season tickets.

The Chiefs have done this frequently this year. Sending an e-mail to a group or business saying "Hey, we're giving you a great deal here, for your company because you're special. Call now." But it's the same price that everyone else is paying, just in an individualized e-mail making your group or business feel important.

And you can buy any of those season tickets through a ticket broker. They charge more than the listed season ticket price but less than the single game price. Pretty good deal if you want good season ticket seats for a reasonable price. I'm pretty sure you can't buy Club 50 seats from the Chiefs, but you can from a broker. Just an option.

six wins in two years = slow sales.

What do you expect?
