Ticket prices
 

Had a friend looking for Chiefs season tickets in the lower section and was quoted by the Chiefs as $4200 for a set of tickets. Her in-laws have season tickets in the same section and only pay $2300 for them. Seems like something is fishy. Anyone else heard about this?

Have the in-laws had their season tickets for a long time? I would imagine a discount for faithful fans who've purchased theirs year by year and charging more to the new season ticket holder coming in. Kind of an opposite of the way many businesses work nowadays like apartments, cell phone providers, cable providers etc.

They have. If that is the case that is fairly new deal because we had season tickets for 15 years and our prices were the same price as everyone else’s in our section when we had them.

They don't give ANY breaks to long time season ticket holders. I would pay the same as a brand new first time buyer.

We just won the Super Bowl for the first time in 50 years.

Prepare for ticket prices to skyrocket.

Yep. My dad paid $2200 for his. He called to see if there were any additional seats available near him. They said that there were seats a few sections over (but still in his same price bracket), that would be $4800 for the pair. He said he's been a season ticket member for 15 years. She said that it would be for one year and go back down next year.

I guess they're jacking up prices for first time buyers? Weird, because my boyfriend and I paid $900 for our seats last year as first time buyers, and they're $1200 this year. Looking online, if we were to purchase our sets for the first time this year, they'd be $1900.

Prices fluctuate in individual sections. Row 1 is a different price than row 30 in the same section. There's many other factors a well.

Thanks for the help. I will pass along the info.

This! And, the pricing is different section to section. I’m in 122, it’s higher than 123. Plus, get closer to midfield, it’s higher again. No, they don’t charge first timers more. They charge individual game buyers more. But, not newcomers.

These tickets were in the same section but one row higher up so they should have been the same or cheaper not higher that is what is crazy. Something is up with it.

Last year, we bought our seats for $900. This year, the same seats are $1200 (understandable). Looking online, they would be $1900 if we were to buy them today. I know what's always been, but there's something different happening this year.

A friend of mine that has season tickets was given the explanation that the one year spike in prices for new buyers was to discourage people that were just going to roll and sell them on the secondary market. She also heard the same about them going back down next year.

I hate Big Ticket.

Just PAID for a pair of cHargers season tickets at the new stadium in the 400 level for $1,200.00 plus a $100.00 SSL for each seat.

Wife just bought us season tickets for my BD present, lower upper right by entrance / exit on isle. 1900 per seat and they didn’t mention anything about price going down next yr.

If you’re a ST holder, are you required to go to a certain number of games? And by that I mean do they not allow you to sell all of your tickets to someone else?

I have twelve season tickets and have a buddy who wanted me to add two more to my account. The prices on the Chiefs site were way more than my 2020 renewal invoice so I called to inquire today. I was told that the ticket prices were “dynamic” and that any new tickets sold would be at a higher price and it didn’t matter if I was adding them to my account or if my buddy created his own new account. I’m sure glad i added more seats last year!

You can sell all that you want. I always sell some of mine.

Wrong. It’s a new Super Bowl tax.

Nope. That has changed now.

Can’t blame em. Supply and demand.

Why let the scalpers make the $ the team should make?

I’m sure I wasn’t the only one thinking of buying a group of 20 season tickets to not only be able to profit during resale, but also reserve max amounts of playoff tickets, as well.

Until recently, were you the QB for the Chargers?;)

LMAO

does the 4200 include the parking tax

I'm just glad I was able to witness the first two years of the greatest QB in chiefs history before I had to bow out. It was a great time getting to witness it in person. TV the rest of the way for me at this point.

Oh, man. If that's true then I'm so glad my wife and I decided to get season tix last year for the first time.

This is no way a challenge to you, but I spoke with a ticket representative yesterday and the Chiefs are charging a 25-50% premium to new season ticket holders for 2020. So you are incorrect in that regard, as I was quoted a price of $1650/ticket in Sec 332, Row 10.

My friend has tickets in Sec 332, Row 6, and his price for 2020 is $1,050/ticket.

I don't think that is a thing. There were a ton of opposing fans during the season at the Texans, Packers, and Vikings games. :huh:

Tax? :hmmm: The price of season tix don't include parking. I would guess that's because not everyone needs a parking pass.

How do you think they are going to pay for Mahomes?

No, but they do monitor ticket sale sites and they can take them away if you are selling most. That's why some sell them strictly outside of those monitored sites.

I feel like if you ain’t going don’t buy , but that’s just my opinion

That seems like a good deal for a new venue.

LV PSL’s are big $$. At least KC is not charging that.

My seats went up by 17%.

You probably could have talked them down to free.
