When you "click here", only the season pass option comes up. I guarantee there's a $5 service charge as well because there was one last year. It is Ticketmaster after all.

I'm just not understanding why they're pushing the prepay so much. What's the difference in handing the guy at the gate a pass or 2 $20 bills? The whole "slowing things down" is bullshit.

If I own the business, I want the cash for obvious reasons........

There are a lot of people who will bail late and not go because of one reason or another. Chiefs want their parking money anyway.

This is still not an issue unless you attend the game alone, pay with cash, and generally suck at life.

I couldn't tell you how many times I've had someone offer me tickets last minute. Makes a big difference having to pay $60. Arrowhead will be more empty now.

Get yourself a nice 80 inch 4K TV and don't bother with the gameday crap at the Stadium. I haven't been since I cancelled my season tickets four years ago and don't plan on coming back until they get their head our of the ass with these prices.

Bring back $20 Diane Lane legs.

FYP

I was at the Playoff game and ordered a couple of Hot Chocolates for me and my son.

I ordered the regular ones, but the guy brings 2 of the fancy cups with lids- "$20.00 please."

Umm no- I am not paying $20.00 for hot water and a spoonful of cocoa- I replied politely.

So he charged me $10.00- but at least I got a cup to keep so I will always remember that AWESOME game.

There's that too...which makes it even more puzzling.

It's the county, but I suppose that's one line of thought. Also, if people buy them in advance they get their money sooner, and can even collect some interest on it.

Either way, the "speed things up" excuse is 100% bullshit.

Having gone to a Rockies game last weekend and being able to use the prepaid parking line, I can assure that it is certainly not 100% bullshit. My line FLEW compared to the lines of people paying with cash or cards. I barely had to slow down for the guy to beep my ticket, then drove on in.

If the Chiefs actually did it like the Rockies, that would be great.

They get you through the gate in a flash only to have you sit in your car for 45 minutes waiting to get into a parking spot.
