Chiefs Has anyone cancelled their Season Tickets? - Page 11

**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?

I can see that. I didn't attend every game at Arrowhead when I lived in KC and often times, just walking over to Tanner's on 119th on Sunday was just as fun as being at Arrowhead.

But with all things being equal, I can definitely say that my time at Arrowhead, win or lose, was more eventful than a day at Tanner's.

I've seen tooge when he had no control at Arrowhead and when he had no control at the golf course. He and 17 beers are friends now and then.

Give me the 90's Chiefs with a real quarterback like we had with Montana and Chiefs football would be incrediable.

You were probably fortunate enough to watch winning Chiefs football at the stadium or at the bar.

I wasn't fortunate enough to really get that experience. I'd say I've been to the stadium 25 times in the last 5 years or so. I bet I've watched 7-8 wins. I'd be just as happy to round the guys up and head to the local bar to watch the Chiefs lose and only blow $50 instead of $150.

This franchise kills me. I can't continue to fork over entertainment money for what turns out to be misery most of the time.

Hey, maybe the Royals will be worth a shit this year. I'll be there opening day. At least Hoch won't be able to muck that up like last year.

I was born in '86; so I wasn't really old enough to appreciate the teams of the 90's. My dad quit watching the Chiefs after the Linn Eliot game, so I didn't go to any games as a kid. I probably really started following and caring about the team in the early 00's. And that's got me jack shit.

Sometimes I wish I could just flip a switch in my mind and root for the Chiefs like I did as a kid. Not care about anything but rooting for them during the game. Not care about the offseason moves and all that. Just roll with it.

*Sigh* Don't think that's ever going to happen.

From 1989-1992 (I left KC in February 1993), I definitely saw more wins than losses. But from 1984-1988, I certainly saw more losses than wins.

And don't even get me started on the 70's, wearing a parka, ski mask and moon boots, only to watch the team lose week after week. That wasn't much fun at all. Tailgating was scarce and even if it did happen, I was way too young to enjoy it.

Yeah, my dick. You might be at first, but here's the kicker: If the player you draft can't hack it then it does not matter where we draft them.

Seriously, some of these comments are borderline reeruned. They are following their board. Their is no job security issues yet, there is a proven history of the 2 of drafting their own qbs. Just because they (like everyone else in the football world, with the exception of the raiders model franchise) don't like the qb prospect doesn't mean shit.

You no sooner can blame them for the drafting policies of the last 30 years than you can for the cold war.

Yeah, season tickets are different for guys like Marcellus, OTWP, and myself. We don't live in KC. We have a 3 hour drive each way in order to go to the games. 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 can't imagine that haul. Spending 12-14 hours on a Chiefs game just to watch them suck shit. **** that. I only live 30 minutes away and it's too much for me.

ChiefsCountry · 03-03-2013, 03:23 PM

I live 2 hours away, normal Chiefs game is about a 8 to 9 hour day.

Pretty much. Hell, I live like 10 minutes away from the stadium and have been to like 5 games in three years.

I'm usually out the door at 8 and back home by 4 on game days.

When I lived in Kansas City for a summer, it was weird as hell to decide at like 6pm to go to a Royals game at night. Its always been a day long event to go to a pro game any sport.

I know the feeling.....get up at 4am to be there not later than 7:30 (after having packed the truck the night before) and then home about 8pm. By the time everything is unpacked, cleaned, and put away it's 9:30 or later.
