For THOSE that DID NOT renew your season tickets
So my buddy and I decided NOT to renew our season tickets this season and YES that was an bitter-sweet decision to make.
So It gets down to the last day to send in the first payment which was the 15th and I get an email from KCChiefs.com on the 14th telling me the day is near and please send $. I email them back and tell them: "Please sell my ticket to someone that cares as I am done wasting my time and money." Last Monday the 18th I get an email back telling me they recieved my email and that they have noted my response in my account. OK Whatever........... Then Friday last week I get a PHONE call from someone inside ticket sales: Q: I was wondering what prompted your decision to drop your season ticket after 18 years? A: "Carl Peterson" Q: We are trying to rectify the current situation by putting a competitive team on the field next year is they anyway we can convince you to stay with us and renew your season tickets? A: "Yea ........ FIRE CARL PETERSON" ! Q: Well sir I can certaily sense your frustrations and I hope if you change your mind in the future you will call us back and resume your trek with the KC Chiefs. A: "I refuse to drink anymore of the Carl Peterson KoolAid so if that is all you have to keep me satisfied then don't bother calling me back". Click. I can only hope these things are recored for quality assurance purposes. |
nice work.

:LOL: to that last comment. 1. Chiefs sure as **** don't record shit from the fans or more than anything.... 2. They simply don't give a **** and with Carl around, I'm going with option 2. |
nice job man
|
Sweet.
|
Mean but sweet move since i hate carl with every fiber of my being. Hope clark get the message.
|
at least you got a phone call, all i got was an email stating "while we understand some peoples frustration we are trying to put together a championship team and hopefully you will return" after 13 years basically "goodbye"
sucks |
Nice work.
The really sad thing about the 4-12 season is that Chiefs management can rationalize and say, "They're canceling because we went 4-12," when that's not the reason at all. |
Perfect, maybe a real Poll requested by Clark will be put together after all the non-renewals are done.

Good job :clap:
Also, for some reason, I find it quite funny that they called it a "trek". |
Awesome!
|
I'd be curious to find this out... what if you were to call them back now and request the same seats. Are they available? What would be the cost they charge you (after 18 years) for those same seats or a slight improvement?
Just curious... I just wonder how fast they were snapped up by someone else. |

This will be the impetus for a startling 8-8 season next year. The Chiefs have heard your voices and they have listened!!!
|
Everyone that has not made the first payment should be getting a call from a Red Coater. The accounts have not been cancelled yet, and it is possible to get the same seats.
The first calling will start this afternoon. I understand your frustration with the team and please be truthful with the person that calls. ALL of your responses will be passed on. |

I tossed my first invoice then got an "overdue" notice last week which I tossed.
I wonder if I'll get a call. Damn funny stuff though Kerberos. |
I think the Chiefs should attemp to acquire unbiased information about the specific reasons fans are upset, why they are cancelling and what it would take to get them back.
I think they should consider an unbiased out of town market research company. I've heard pretty good things about one out of colorado named after a mexican beer...I think its either dos aquis or corona research. |

Does that make you a Red Vester? A red pullover? A red Parka?
Tell the Chiefs they could help Customer relations by toning down the parking nazis. |
The wife and I just purchased season tickets for the first time this year. I already have friends and relatives wanting to buy any tickets that we don't use since we will only make it back to KC for a couple of games.
To each their own I guess. |

I wish. I'm just a fan wanting to earn my Red Coat (not an easy task).
I've had problems in the parking lot,too. I'll be sure to pass that along. |

a circular file? Carl Peterson? the Hunt family? a folder named "Not Real Fans"? a folder named "Damnit, Carl!"? a marketing group that will charge the Chiefs $4 million to collect and analyze the data in order to tell the front office the top reasons why people didn't renew (with, of course, the cost hitting the consumer by way of ticket price increases next year)? |

Since Sandy is a our Chiefsplanet neighbor and friend, and hasn't yet earned the esteemed redcoat......Someone get the man from Atlanta on the phone and get this poster a nice, bright red "Dammit Carl" Tshirt to wear to the next event.

You know I was walking through JCHS to a network problem and I couldn't really get everything I wanted to say out in the middle of a High School. I tell you what though that poor guy on the other end was almost speacheless for 5 seconds or better when I told him "Fire Carl Peterson". Which is kind of strange because I'm sure I'm not the ONLY disgruntled fan to make that statement? :shrug: |
You need to tell them we want the corporate office dismantled and Carl Peterson and all of his cronies gone.. How many years does it take to figure out he is a failure at building a winning playoff team???
You can also pass this along to Clark Hunt, if he wants to make money get into another business.. Owning a sports team is about winning championships and bragging rights, not about ****ing your fans over.. |

Maybe it was his first call. |
I heard "Fire Carl" twice today. I did pass it along. Right now they have hired a lady to be incharge of season ticket holders. She is gathering up all the information but I don't have a clue what, if anything, will happen.

My dad and I just dumped our season tickets that we've had the last 10+ years.
|
I respect the fans that feel the need to keep their tickets because of the time they have put into getting where they are, but I do love seeing the fans that invested as much time and are dropping tickets as well. Nothing against the fans that stay, but the ones that leave are making a necessary statement to the organization. Even if it isn't really listening.
|
And why does the NFL still do blackouts.. Seems to me they make more money off of televising the games now as opposed to people going..
|
Bob Gretz will be calling you shortly.

Rather than taking a 2,000 cock up the ass, I sold my seats on eBay for 1875 late last week.
The seat licenses are worth keeping, but I"m not going to the games to support these one who sucks the peniss. |

15 years of season tickets were enough for me.

I've been interested in getting season tickets for a couple of years now and have been in touch with the ticketing office on-and-off over that time (Even though I live in CA). Needless to say, a few of their AEs have my contact information now and call me about once a week. I told them that I refused to invest in the tickets until Carl was gone because I am convinced he is will produce nothing more than a c*ck tease of a team while he is there.
I've had a couple of the AEs tell me that they have had an overwhelming response similar to mine and they then they go on to focus on what Herm is doing for the team (For me, the jury is still out on Herm) and how we have 10 draft picks (Really?) and that the new stadium is going to be just super! On the one hand, I'm encouraged because I think the club is getting the message. On the other hand, it pisses me off to think that the Chiefs are letting so many of their die-hard fans go while giving CP a golden parachute... |

I'm still trying to decide whether or not to renew mine, I have until March 5th.

I gave them up after Vermeil's 13-3 year. Had them since 1983. I've never been happier with a decision.

2006 gone. never look back.

Season Tickets
And who do you think is in charge of the information that comes from the fans who are not re-newing their season tickets? Well I'm sure it's in the hands of the President of the Chiefs organization. You think King Carl will let it be known what the fanbase is saying? I'm sure he will have those that complain about him covered up so Clark is unable to find out the truth. He's smart enough to come up with some excuse aside from his own worthless ass.
It will be interesting to see who he throws under the bus or what excuse he articulates to the media should he be questioned. Of course he always has Sausage Fingered Gretz and Dawes to run interference. Just wait and see what comes out in their next writings. Something he can't sweep under the rug, but I'll bet anything that his cronies come up with some falsehoods to limit the damage. |

Looks like a roadtrip to St Joe for a party will be a piece of cake now. Seriously Rob,I know how you feel been there done that two years ago myself.It'll feel strange at first but always keep one thing in mind,you're the customer and the only voice you have is to do what you're doing. |

I've got a different relationship to the organization than you all do, but I'll say that this last season was extremely liberating. While there are a lot of wonderful things that came with our trips to KC, it was also a TON of pressure, stress, and expense. It was nice to have our weekends back. Not to mention, I just didn't care as much as I have in the past, when my entire week would basically be focused on football.

i haven't had a season ticket since 2003, but I formerly still went to about half the games.
I don't think I'm going again until Carl is gone. It's just fruitless to invest yourself in a team that's got no interest in contending for a championship or a clue how to do it, and regards their fan base with utter contempt. It's 8 hours or so and at least a hundred dollars every Sunday to attend just per person, including tailgate. Time and money I could use on something productive. I don't even really get into the games on TV as much as I used to. Just not worth getting invested in this two-bit organization anymore. |

BTW, good luck in earning your Red Coat. :thumb: |

I'll be down for the MU/KU game, but I won't bother going back to Arrowhead the next day. |
Yeah, I live 15 mintues or less from the stadium, I can't imagine how you people who drive in from out of town keep justifying it.

Then say these 1000+ people, no longer are season ticket holders because of the Chiefs and CP ability to field a winning team.. You have allowed mediocrity for decades just to keep making a buck.. Your loyal fans who have had tickets ranging from 3-15+ years are not renewing because of your loyalty to CP and his ineptness in keeping good players, continually hiring old guys to stay around 8-8 and pissing off our other talent with his negotiating techniques(tait, Allen, Smith).. Then mail the packet to Clark Hunt, KC Star, Espn and some other reputable organization that will publish it to sham CP and the Chiefs.. If that does not work, then they simple do not care.. But at least you tried and its out there.. |
Arrowhead in 2008 is going to look like the Tennessee game did in 2007 - Half Empty.
