Update on the Chiefs fans road trip to Jacksonville next year




We have put down a security deposit on the tickets with the Jaguars. We are now first in line to purchase group tickets when they go on sale. We will get the best non-season ticket holder seats the Jaguars have available.




Our current total is 300+ Chief fans wanting tickets to the game. 250+ upper level seats. There is a possibility we can get seats in that level close to the 30-50 yard line. Another 50+ lower level seats. Those seats will be in the corners or the end zones.




The Jaguars will create a website for us to purchase tickets. You can buy tickets directly from the Jaguars using their secured system. We will not be involved in the ordering or getting your individual tickets part of the process. When you use that website, all the tickets available will be in the Chief fans only sections, behind the Chiefs bench side of the field. We are still working out the details on how particular groups can sit together. You want to sit with the Arrowhead South or the Pat Mahomes fan group etc.? Sit with your friends? That will be an option. We will get those details finalized before a date is announced for the game.




We are considering the possibility of turning our tailgate into a World Food Championship qualifier event. The Jaguars are on board with the event. We have one of their event coordinators that happens to be a Chiefs fan on board with the idea. The VP from the Jaguars will give us the space for free to hold a 1- or 2-day event. We get rub and sauce sponsors to buy the meat for the BBQ competition. The competitors cook the meat for the championship. We eat the resulting BBQ for free. Lots of details to work out but does this sound good or do we just want to do our own tailgate? Here’s the world food championships website. https://worldfoodchampionships.com/

They are expecting Mahomes to be a hot ticket.

The Jaguars will give us a discount of 10% off each ticket up to 500 we book. >500 the discount will go up. They will also give us one of those big tents in the parking lot for free and may be able to block out some parking around the tent for just Chief fans. They also will set up an optional BBQ buffet for $10 a head if we chose.

What happens right now is that we need to get an idea of how many want to come along on this road trip. They will then block out some seats for our purchase later.

As soon as we get a date from the NFL in March/April we will need to know how many are coming. If you are interested, please post….

How many?

Lower tier, second tier or upper deck?

Tailgate, yes or no?

I live here in Jax..would meet up with people for sure. Always go when they are in town. Actually a good amount of Chiefs people show up.

This all sounds awesome! I sure hope the schedule works out for me.

Also we are going to be able to stay at the Hilton for $40 a night.

there is a group of Chief fans in Cape Coral that are going to the game with us. They are also doing a Chiefs cruise. I’m working with their founder on putting this together.

We're definitely going to see if it works out. Our first priority though is a game at Arrowhead. It's been 7 years since she's been there.

That sounds cool. We are going to have a lot of people from the Midwest traveling for the game. That would make it special for them.


I doubt everyone stays at the Hilton. We will be scattered. Looking at options to get together's on Friday and Saturday nights. Probably several options.


There are several for profit travel companies asking to be involved. I'm saying no thanks for now. Our groups in Florida are just fan groups. They don't charge for events or membership. They don't sell our members information for ads, allow for profit posts etc. I have no interest in monetizing this in some way. But.......I'll let the group decide.
