Season Ticket Holders: Are you renewing for 2008? - Page 2

**BigRedChief** · 02:16 PM

The invoices are in the mail. We need to start paying King Carl the money. What say you?

I guess if I really thought my not renewing would hasten the demise of King Carl I might consider not renewing but I don't think it would have any effect next year. King Carl is here and he's not going away.

Empty seats at Arrowhead and apathy will remove King Carl from his thrown. Whether I pay King Carl for my seats or someone off ebay will not force King Carl out.

I have too much fun on gamedays. Tailgating, the BBQ, drinking cold ones, sharing good times etc. I was here long before King Carl and I'll be here long after he's gone.

Anybody else think there will be some blackouts this year?

I guess Im part of the fan base that needs to be rebuilt.

I am an out of state fan. So I generally pick out a game or two that I want to go to and sell off the rest of the tickets. By the end of last season it was getting tough to even get 70% of face.

I would love to re-up. But the loss I take on buying a complete season has put me in a position where I just simply can't take the loss. I used to eat the price of the preseason tix because nobody wanted them. But that's as far as I can go.

I guess my tickets will be going to a real fan now. I hope they enjoy them.

donkey_hater · 01-22-2008, 08:01 PM

We are going to renew... I am not a King Carl or Herm fan but still am addicted to the Chiefs for some crazy reason. They are like a bad drug that keeps you coming back for more no matter how much you try to avoid them

On another note if anyone has 4 LL tickets they want to let the rights go on let me know as the family and I are looking to move down this year a little since we have spent to many years in the Upper level.

ChiefsCountry · 01-22-2008, 08:32 PM

Mine went down in price and I dont know want to lose rights incase something crazy happens and they get good.

Just send me a PM with the seat location, and what you want as far as compensation for the transfer.

Thanks.

Still looking....

BWillie · 01-23-2008, 02:01 AM

Nope. I'm sick of paying for two shitty preseason games that I don't want, and can't get rid of for any decent value. I'm just going to buy tickets to four games that I really want to go to. Probably get better seats, and save a whole lot of money.

BigRedChief, Do you typically buy your tickets off the e-bay? Been trying to decide if that is the way I want to go this year in order to get lower seats but I just can't seem to pull myself away from contributing directly to King Carl

I was on the waiting list for season tickets since 1991. Been a season ticket holder since 1994. Piss's me off to pay full price for pre-season games but all the NFL teams do it the same way.

The NFL is pricing out most fans. If I wasn't making $25K more than I was back when I started being a "Real" fan I would have given up the tickets.

Exactly. We'll most likely renew for this very reason.

It's like going on the same cruise every year without, little to no improvement in the product and very much the same experience as it was the day you set sail. After close to a decade you liked to see a different beach. Carl sucks ass. He will always suck ass. He's still tenured in Kansas City, so my decision is rather easy. Anybody that re-ups thinking the Chiefs are going all the way next year are just fooling themselves.

I feel that way and I'm not even a STH. I question why i buy the NFL ticket some times.

Eleazar · 01-23-2008, 09:19 AM

$4000 a year, crazy.

In today's prices what would that be in total for Carl's reign of failure? $75,000 or more?

My first invoice in 1994 was $1,158.00. This years will be $2, 720.00. How much is that more than standard inflation?

KurtCobain · 01-23-2008, 09:45 AM

Haven't had season tickets since 2005, but only because I couldn't afford them. This year though I'm looking at a few seats with some friends and I'll probably become a season ticket holder once again, just to watch Herm's new squad lose boring games, boringly.

HonestChieffan · 01-23-2008, 10:05 AM

I'll renew all 4 of mine and probably go to all but 2-3 games. Im lucky enough that my seats are good enough that I can usually get face for them if I do sell them.
