Chiefs Has anyone cancelled their Season Tickets? - Page 12

**OnTheWarpath15** · 03-03-2013, 08:13 AM

I haven't been on much since the trade, wondering HOW pissed off people are.

Are you talking, or are you ACTING?

I called my rep on Friday and found out that if I cancel, I'm out a shade over $100 and get refunded the balance of my deposit. Or, I can keep the tickets, and throw good money after bad and be out another $900.

I'm a little pissed at myself for getting excited and jumping the gun, but I honestly never saw these guys making the EXACT SAME MISTAKE this organization has made for 30 years. Should have waited until after the draft, but them's the breaks. At least I minimized the damage.

Anyone else planning on cancelling their account?

It's an all day, or overnight experience, and that adds considerably to the expense. Gas, and hotels on top of tickets, parking, tailgating, and concessions. I need more than brisket to get up at the butt crack of dawn, or fork over north of $100 for a room to come see the games every week.

I totally get that and wouldn't blame OTWP for cancelling his tickets at all. That's a huge commitment and he has every right to disapprove of the Chiefs latest moves.

It just sucks that he'll lose 10%.

Yeah, I think that's horseshit. I hope he waits until after the draft to fully decide. I still may end up doing it. I don't know, there's always hope with me when a new guy comes in. Especially one with Reid and Dorsey's pedigree. I did it 5 times in 2010 and the only game we lost was the playoff game. I haven't been back since. Even with Alex, I may still pull the trigger and get season tickets. I've always wanted too...

Even if the Chiefs suck you still get to see other great players and the other NFL teams. I have seen every team in the NFL in person expect the Patriots, Jets, Redskins, and Lions.

This has always been my argument to friends for buying Royals tickets.

Even though the Royals have endured losing seasons for two decades, tickets are cheap and you get to watch the best baseball players in the world.

And growing up in the PNW, I only got to see them in the Kingdome when Seattle was in the AFC West. Since I joined here in 2005 and the internet has exploded I've literally made dozens of Chiefs friends. Having the experience to hang out, and party with them while sitting amongst thousands of people that are actually rooting for the same team as me is a value most Chiefs fans don't understand. The out of towners here can attest to that. It goes a bit beyond winning and losing. Even though I desperately want to win.

No doubt going to a few games a year, even in a shitty season is cool, but how anyone drops that coin to see all games for a shitty team is just mind blowing.

If you don't want the 10 game commitment, wait until the half season ticket packs go on sale. Thats 5 games - 1 preseason and 4 regular. It was the first season ticket package I had and it was pretty good deal.

Yes, in your opinion. But not in the opinion of virtually every actual NFL personnel office. What makes you smarter than all those teams?

You can. You choose not to do it. Sometimes we are so caught up in the big picture we forget to enjoy the game. Even if your record sucks and you have no chance at the playoffs you can enjoy a good game. You just have to let yourself.

Your loss. I lived there for 6 years and still enjoy visiting. A great state with a lot to do and see, beautiful mountains, beaches, deserts, great cities. I loved living there even with the obnoxious Raiders fans. My favorite state outside of my adopted home state of Hawaii.

Or the division pack for just the AFCW opponents.

I simply stated that canceling your season tickets because the regime didn't get the QB that you wanted is childish.

Next time you entertain the idea of bringing up Hitler in a football discussion, remember that it is better to keep your mouth shut and let people think your a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

Hitler gets mocked every day on forums across the internet. But because I referenced him to make you look like the tard you are I'm the bad guy? All amount of football knowledge is nullified when you you shoot your team in the foot and stick with Cassel way too long or pick Grbac over Gannon.

I'm going to disagree. There are some real dumb mother****ers that work in the NFL and have no business being in football, and there are some people who actually post on these types of boards that could do a better job than some of these people.
