Is the going rate for a Chiefs ticket on the second hand market seriously $200/each?

[George Liquor]

Because that's what I'm seeing every time I look. Approximately, give or take a few bucks either way. For nose bleed seats that is.

I haven't been to a game for a couple years and every time I look at going I shudder at the price. The cheapest I'm seeing right now are for the Tampa MNF game and that's $135 + "fees" which i assume will push them to around $200 a pop.

Unfortunately yes. Price of success.

I remember being able to score lower bowl tickets in the Alex Smith days for like $20.

Those days are long gone.

I got a lower level ticket to the Packers game at Arrowhead after Rodgers was ruled out for $80. I'm not asking for 2016 prices but sheesh, how do people afford this?

Rob banks, apparently

The Chiefs are actually listed as one of the highest tickets in the league, so not surprising.

Last year I went to the Bears game at Arrowhead. I had a decent seat - 35 yard line about 10 rows up in the upper level. It cost $650. SIX HUNDRED FIFTY ****ING DOLLARS FOR ONE GODDAMN SEAT. To put that in perspective, I paid $500 for a seat in the same area for the Pats AFCCG. Even the dogshit nosebleed seats were going for around $200.

Maybe prices spiked because they were trying to fleece Bears fans coming down for the game. I don't know. What I do know is that I've probably attended my last game at Arrowhead. At least it was a blowout win.

I paid about $400 a pop for the 2019 and 2020 AFC championship games but those were special occasions.

Sounds like they have officially priced the average fan out of going to games. As I have said many times, the greed of the NFL has no limits.

The average NFL fan is also the one who gets hammered and throws up on a kid while picking a fight.

The Chiefs have ticket prices on the same level as the New York Giants, considering difference in pay, cost of living, goods, that's kinda crazy

Only 200?

With success comes cost.

That's a lot of money when you factor in a wife, a kid, parking, beer, gas and food.

I'm with you there. I had a good run of about a decade worth of going to 1 or 2 games a year but I haven't been since 2021 (I was thinking that game was 22) and it looks like I won't be going again this year either.

This and you don't have to deal with fans that won't sit down during the entire game preventing your Mrs. from being able to see anything.
