Well, game tix are. Plane and car still set me back $1200 but who cares. I’m going to see the Chiefs win the AFC live and in person!
So I guess you're out for our meetup this week! :-) [Reply]

It'll be a great time, for sure.
Found a good deal on flights last night and booked... now just need tickets. :-) [Reply]

Probably not. I have been to most of those home playoff losses except for last year, heck I went to 2 games this year and they lost both so I am definitely staying away like that fan who left early this past week.
Have fun but if we lose we are blaming you :-) [Reply]

Last year, I picked up a pair of tix to the AFC Championship game (sec 342, row 20) from Tickets for Less for $350. Had to call them but their prices are much more reasonable.
As for this year, I'm a first time season ticket holder. For those wondering how it works for season ticket holders, here is my experience. They emailed me early in the season and asked if I wanted to use the same card to purchase playoff tix when the time comes. Of course, I replied yes. So by the last game they said they were gonna charge for those. The total was $380 and so I was confused. I thought they were gonna charge that for just the divisional game. Turned out they only charged me $60 per ticket plus the $30 parking pass for the divisional playoff game against the Texans. This next game they are charging $100 per ticket plus $30 parking pass. No extra fees or taxes. I paid $380 total for 2 tickets for both games. I'd say those prices are very reasonable. [Reply]

It’s really ingenious as a profit maker - but ridiculous to rape die hard fans for this$$$. Especially when the NFL has made Superbowl tickets impossible for most fans.
It's a little absurd at the moment... and I completely get why they do it, but right now the upper level seats they're releasing are $280 for the endzone (not that crazy) and there's currently a Chiefs-released $450 single that's 13 rows up in the upper deck on the 20 yard line. :-) [Reply]
There's some really great seats available but they're expensive. While I can afford it my friends that I always watch party with can't. Oh well it will just be another great watch party at my house. It'll be to cold to use the stick burner so we'll have to figure what to serve. [Reply]

It's never too cold to smoke something. Just build a bigger fire. [Reply]
