Any Math whiz's tell me what a $19.79 ticket would cost today if adjusted for inflation?

Discussion and or venting starts now.

I don't think you can blame Peterson for revenue sharing. Hunt has to sell the naming rights to Arrowhead because that's what the league wants. NFL=money grab

Who's accessing blame on King Carl? He's a master marketeer and a greddy SOB just like the NFL. They are joined at the hip.

What cost $19.79 in 1990 would cost $29.43 in 2005.

okay your next task is what % increase was that. Instead of a normal $29.43 it was $67.33.

[ZepSinger]

Without whipping out the calculator, I can tell ya it's over a 200% increase.

229%


But, who are you venting towards? The people who keep selling out Arrowhead, paying for $20 parking and $8 beer? Every team, regardless of record, sold out every game up until that Bills game a couple of weeks ago... of course they're going to raise ticket prices every year.

It doesn't take an economics degree to figure out who's fault it is.

Exactly. As much as I personally wish that they'd leave prices low, all they are doing is allowing the economics of supply and demand to work. Leaving prices low just allows people like scalpers to take all the profits that the Chiefs would be leaving on the table.

Now THAT is a different story.

Yep, damn good point

We're the greatest fans in the NFL.

the push for renevations at Arrowhead is so the league can install pay toliets. The troughs were a major road block

Yeah, drunken sword fighting is a good time had by all.

[Mr. Laz]

We fans love football and the Chiefs


Lamar and Carl took advantage of that fact.



and will continue to do so

[Rain Man]

Carl would like to point out that there were no price increases in 1999 AND 2005.
