Is everyone else elated they gave up their season tix this year?

wutamess · 10-07-2007, 10:38 PM

I struggled with the decision to part ways with my season tix.
At the current moment, I'm happy as hell that I no longer have to invest $100 to each home game (including preseason games).

Granted my tickets were $80 this year, but parking is $25/game for Red Reserve. Not to mention the purchasing of the tailgating food, charcoal & hualing of the grill, etc.

Thank you Herm & Carl.
Next round's on me. I can afford it now.

You can move down- most every game. I sat behind the Chiefs bench during the Home Opener.

I would never sit that far down, can't see the action on the far side of the field. Aside from that, part of having season tickets (for me at least) is being around the same group of people every week/year. Also I would never want to sit in the nosebleeds or the endzone which is where the majority of those cheap tix are located.

You can get a ticket for $34.50 to any remaining games- season tickets are a rip.

No Im delighted I still have kick ass seats and will have since Ive had mine for 20 years. Youll be old and dumber before you ever get the good seats.

I had good/great seats (sect 104) and have been a ST holder for 4-5 years before giving them up. I got upgraded to those good eats after having them for 1 year or so. The way I see it... I have another 4-5 years before I'll need tickets again. That's when my boy will hit the 7-8 yo range. Until then, TO HELL with year 17 of the 5 year plan.

Sunday Ticket with game mix is sufficient enough for me. I also don't feel so drained when I get home @ 4 and have to take a nap basically missing the 2nd round of games.

You were down a few rows and on the other side of the aisle from us.

Halfcan · 10-07-2007, 11:12 PM

I had them since 1990-I miss hanging with my buds-but games like this make me glad I don't have those 4 seats for the rest of the season.

IMO, football is a much better game on TV. On the other hand, baseball, college basketball and (especially) hockey are much better games to see at the hosting venue.

I've never been physically present for an NBA game — and I never hope to be — but I suspect that those games are better at the venue as well.

I dunno -- with games being broadcast in HD, baseball games might be better to watch on TV, too. I agree with the rest.

When Oakland loses KC will still be first place in the AFC West. I'm glad I still have mine.
