The Game That Never Was
1 Attachment(s)
My sister was going through some of my dad's stuff. He passed in 2011. She found these tickets, and asked me why they'd never been torn in half? Well, as many season ticket holders know, when the Chiefs qualify for the playoffs, the Chiefs send out tickets for all possible games. These are four tickets for the AFC Championship game, which would have been played at Municipal Stadium on January 2nd 1972, had the Chiefs not lost to Miami in the longest playoff game on Christmas Day 1971. The two tickets on the left were for my sister and me in the "Huddle Club" in the west end zone; the other two were for my mom and dad along what would have been the first base line in old Municipal. The Wolfpack bleachers would have been on the direct opposite side of the field in the baseball outfield. This game was never played because the Chiefs lost. If this game would have been played, and had the Chiefs won, they would have gone to Super Bowl VI. Miami beat the Baltimore Colts in the AFC Championship game, then lost to Dallas in the Super Bowl. Oh what might have been...

Huh. Wonder how much those tickets were? I'd guess parking at Arrowhead now is more than those four tickets...

When I took over my dad's season tickets in 1993 they were $16.50 each. Last time I went before Covid they were like $140 or $150 each.

Man George you never cease to amaze! That is awesome to possess those tickets!

Those tickets would be $80 today. I doubt AFC Championship game tickets straight from the Chiefs are $80 today.
|
Oh, I had tickets to the AFC Championship game many times when I had season tickets. Never go to use them. Not once.

Clark better bring the prices down. I'm not paying 200 bucks to sit in the upper deck. |
That's pretty cool! Thanks for sharing. I just bought 2 extra tix to the Cowboys game 3rd row lower middle...$1500 for the pair, and you've got the best seats in the house, can't imagine what they cost now!
|
Ha. That's pretty cool George

Those are pretty sweet tickets, even if we didn’t make it that year.
For some reason, I still have tickets to the AFC Championship game from January of 96. I don’t remember how much the tickets cost, but the season tickets that year were like 33 dollars a piece to sit 8 rows from the top in section 342. |

A Chiefs vs Cowboys Super Bowl would have been glorious. |
That's a pretty cool collectible. I would've thought all of those tickets were given to third world kids in Africa.
I still dislike Garo Yepremian to this day. |
Very cool find, sir.

Who has tickets for Jan of 1996 AFC championship? home against the Steelers

Factoid 1: Ed Podolak amassed 350 total yards, a post season record that still stands.
