Chiefs parking changes
Just came across this.
http://www.chiefs.com/news/article-2...1?sf31901094=1 TL;DR; If you pay cash at the gate parking is increased $10, if you buy a pass ahead of time it's still $30. |

One thing we're glossing over is that the pass prices are fixed, but paying at the gate is variable.
Surely the Hunt family wouldn't lower the costs on a December game if the Chiefs were playing sub .500 ball now, would they?

I also didn't realize there was that much issue in the regular lots? I'm kind of scared though that that in itself means i'm the asshole idiot.

I've had good luck through these guys getting tickets and parking passes. Their markup hasn't been horrible in the past, either. |

But every mouth-breathing Claynus in the stadium can be found in the public lots. And yes, generally speaking, the douche bros that just came to get ****ed up and sit in the top 3 rows with the tickets they got for $20 on stubhub are going to be there as well. It's shittier, without question. Then again, as you've evidently sat in a closed bar and gotten shitfaced at 3 in the afternoon, there's a good chance that yes, you are the asshole idiot.

Here's the deal - they don't WANT you to tailgate for hours before the game. For all the talk of how we have the greatest tailgate atmosphere in the NFL, they would rather you show up at 11 so you can go inside and spend your money and their incredibly marked up food and beverage. Plus as an added bonus to them they don't have to pay volunteers cleaning up the massive piles of shit left behind by all the tailgates.

If they aren't trying to hawk more Gold and Platinum passes, I don't understand Donovan's end game here -beside maximize revenue, of course.
Ensure the lots are actually full down to each space in every colored lot? Cut down on complaints about a paying cash customer getting to games right when the gates open and being so far away from the stadium only to see red spaces taken up by people who get into TSC around 11:30am? Try and deter drunkards with a higher upfront cost? EDIT: Bowser's point is probably the most salient one.

The whole experience just sucks now, and they just keep fleecing away with the costs. The last year I had my season tickets, the wife and I figured we could go to Ameristar and watch the entire game, then go blow a couple of hundred in the casino afterwards and STILL pay less than what a gameday experience would cost, and that's not mentioning the prep time for food, building up the tailgate, cooking meals, breaking it all down, putting shit away when you get home.... |

Just so passive aggressive to punish fans in the name of maximizing revenue.
Just jack up the Gold and Platinum lots to $150/game and the Red lots to $100.

The Chunts...
I'm so glad I dumped my tix the day they hired Gunther as HC. Although I never had any parking lot issues, I saw plenty of ridiculous shit around me. And this parking lot merry go round is ... so Chiefs. |
