Prices for Chiefs divisional round tickets have soared since 2018

The #Chiefs have played in the AFC divisional round each year during the Patrick Mahomes era and average ticket prices on the secondary market have more than tripled in that span.

If you’re looking to head to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium for the AFC divisional round matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Jacksonville Jaguars, you’ll be paying a pretty penny.

According to TicketIQ’s Jesse Lawrence, the average price on the secondary market for a ticket to the Chiefs-Jaguars divisional round game is $484. That number is actually the lowest mark of any NFL divisional-round game this year, but it also marks the most expensive divisional-round game for Kansas City during the Patrick Mahomes era. That doesn’t include the 2020 game against the Browns, which was played with reduced capacity due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the 2018-19 divisional round game against the Indianapolis Colts, the tickets averaged a list price of just $150. They’ve more than tripled in price since that point. In 2019-20 against the Houston Texans, the average list price was $349. Against the Buffalo Bills in 2021-22, it was up to $361.

TicketIQ says the least expensive tickets for this upcoming game between K.C. and Jacksonville are listed at $197, which is also the most expensive get-in price for a Chiefs divisional-round game since they began tracking them. The highest-priced tickets currently listed on the secondary market exceed $3,400, with some of the highest prices located in the midfield area in sections 101, 102, 136, 120, 119 and 118.

This will be the fifth time the Chiefs are hosting a divisional round game in the Patrick Mahomes era and it is at least 34% more expensive than any of the previous four divisional round games. If the wave of success in Kansas City continues, you can only expect the prices to rise.

Chiefs to begin selling playoff tickets next week

With a playoff berth and the AFC West nearly in hand, the Kansas City Chiefs will begin selling playoff tickets.

With a playoff berth and the AFC West nearly in hand, beginning next week, the Kansas City Chiefs will start selling tickets to potential home games during the 2020 NFL playoffs.

All season long, the Chiefs have operated at a capacity reduced to 22% of the typical capacity at Arrowhead Stadium. With COVID-19 cases on the rise, the franchise will continue these capacity restrictions throughout the playoffs.

That means there will only be a limited number of tickets available for home playoff games. Chiefs team president Mark Donovan encouraged fans to attend despite the reduced capacity.

“Even with a reduced capacity, our fans have made a noticeable difference for our team. We really appreciate their commitment throughout the season,” Donovan said. “We have a lot of plans to make this a memorable postseason while supporting our ultimate goal to ‘Run It Back.'”

Here’s how everything with the upcoming playoff ticket sale will work:

  • Season ticket holders will have first dibs to purchase tickets beginning on Monday, Dec. 7. They’ll be able to purchase what the Chiefs are calling a “Playoff Pack” which will include tickets for all three potential Chiefs home games for the playoffs. The will be a pay-as-we-play payment option, where season ticket holders won’t be charged until games are confirmed.
  • Tickets will be sold to season ticket holders in order of tenure, using their specific password-protected accounts. Keep an eye on your email associated with your account if you’re a season ticket holder.
  • After presale for season ticket members, all remaining tickets will be released as single-game tickets on Friday, Dec. 11. It’ll first be released to Jackson County residents at 8 a.m. CT and then the general public beginning at Noon CT.
  • Tickets continue to be sold in seated groups of pods. You can purchase up to six seats in a pod.

All policies related to COVID-19 will still be in effect and enforced during the playoffs. If you need a refresher on those policies, please visit www.chiefs.com/stadium/covid for more details.

Chiefs to open ticket sales for Jets, Panthers home games beginning next week

The Kansas City Chiefs have announced when their next wave of home tickets go on sale.

[jwplayer tB9100oY-ThvAeFxT]

The Kansas City Chiefs have announced when the next batch of tickets for home games will go on sale.

The Chiefs began the 2020 NFL season, opening up ticket sales for the first three home games. Following the successful conclusion of both home games in the first quarter of the season, the team has announced that ticket sales for the Week 8 game against the New York Jets and the Week 9 game against the Carolina Panthers will go on sale next week. This has come with discussion with local health care experts and government officials.

You can begin buying tickets for both games on Monday, Oct. 12. Tickets will still be sold in grouped pods of as many as six seats. There are not increasing capacity for any of the upcoming games, so it’ll remain at 22% of Arrowhead Stadium’s initial capacity (roughly 16,000 fans). The team will also continue enforcing the new policies and protocols put in place to protect fans, staff and others from COVID-19. You can find a full list of those policies here.

There’s one thing worth noting if you intend to buy tickets to an upcoming home game. The team policy prohibits refunds from rescheduled games. The game would need to be canceled in order for you to receive a refund. Many fans who traveled to Kansas City for the Week 4 game vs. the New England Patriots found themselves in a bind when the game was rescheduled for Monday night following positive COVID-19 cases on both teams. It’s best to be prepared for anything and clear your schedule through Tuesday if you intend to buy tickets to a game.

Cowboys ticket sales crash, NFL to use pre-recorded crowd noise at games

As the Cowboys saw ticket sales marred by technical difficulties, the league has announced a plan to pipe in crowd noise on gamedays.

The Dallas Cowboys are trying to make sure their gamedays look- at least partially- like they’re supposed to. And the league is ensuring that its stadiums will sound somewhat like the NFL on Sundays.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has expressed how important it is for his club to “put the show on” in this COVID-stained season. For the ringmaster-in-chief of America’s Team, that unquestionably also means having paying customers in the seats.

While many stadiums across the league have already vowed to play the regular season in front of an empty house, Jones has promised that AT&T Stadium will be open for business on Sundays this fall, to at least a percentage of the venue’s full capacity. Season ticket holders were supposed to get their first chance at claiming seats for Cowboys home games on Thursday.

Like so much of the rest of 2020, it fell apart in short order.

Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News has reported that the online platform used by SeatGeek “experienced issues” shortly after the sales window opened and was subsequently shut down, with ticket sales suspended until further notice.

“In reaction to COVID-19, SeatGeek built a custom ticket-buying experience that keeps fans safe and adheres to local and state safety guidelines around social distancing,” SeatGeek wrote in a statement. “Fan safety is paramount for SeatGeek and the Cowboys. While we are excited to pioneer this new technology, SeatGeek and the Cowboys made the joint decision to pause the on-sale until early next week to offer an improved user experience.

“We look forward to resuming the on-sale and helping as many fans as safely possible attend an event at AT&T Stadium this season.”

The Cowboys sent out an email of their own, just two hours after tickets were supposed to have gone on sale.

“We apologize for the technical difficulties with SeatGeek regarding the Dallas Cowboys single game ticket on-sale this morning and are working through these issues,” the team stated. “Rest assured that you have not missed out on purchasing any games for the on-sale. Once the issue has been resolved and is fully functioning, we will email you when you are able to go back online to purchase. Thank you for your patience, and we apologize for this inconvenience.”

Fans who already own Cowboys season tickets will be allowed to purchase up to six tickets for up to three of the team’s eight home games this regular season. The seats will be grouped into pods around the stadium to ensure proper social distancing on gameday, and ticketholders will not be permitted to re-sell seats within a purchased pod.

It is not clear exactly how many fans will be permitted into AT&T Stadium during games in 2020. Jones has said he will follow state guidelines regarding crowd sizes, but has declined to specify a number prior to the Week 2 home opener. Texas law currently would allow 50% capacity.

But Gehlken also reports that there is some grumbling about ticket prices under the new system.

“On social media,” he writes, “some season-ticket holders complained Thursday about the ticket prices in certain sections. A SeatGeek spokesperson confirmed that four of the stadium’s 14 sections are priced higher than they were in 2019. The other 10 seat sections remained flat.”

AT&T Stadium may be at half-capacity, and other sites fanless, for games this fall, but the NFL’s venues will at least sound like they normally do… mostly. The league will attempt to emulate the gameday experience for the players, coaches, and TV audiences by piping in crowd noise during games.

According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the league will provide a recording of crowd noise “specific to each team’s stadium that must be played over the PA system,” whether the venue is hosting live fans or not. The league will also monitor the volume level at which the looped noise is played back, to ensure a stadium operator can’t use the sound effects to provide an unfair edge to the home team or unfairly disrupt the visitors during play.

“Per the memo,” notes Jack Baer of Yahoo Sports, “teams will not be allowed to play their crowd noise at a sound greater than 70 decibels, and their total output (think crowd noise while music is playing) cannot exceed 75 decibels. That’s roughly analogous to the noise of a vacuum cleaner and well below the triple-digit readings seen at stadiums of teams like the Seattle Seahawks and Kansas City Chiefs.”

Commissioner Roger Goodell maintained just this week that the league believes there will be no competitive advantage for teams who have live fans in attendance compared to clubs who play in empty stadiums.

The Cowboys’ first home game is set for September 20 as they face the Atlanta Falcons. The team has not yet set a new date for online ticket sales to resume.

Jones cites ‘50% capacity’ for Cowboys home games, but is ‘playing it by ear’

The Cowboys owner doesn’t believe live fans at AT&T Stadium will create an unfair advantage, despite many other teams having empty stadiums.

Jerry Jones is itching to start handing out tickets to Cowboys home games. He just doesn’t know how many he’ll be allowed to sell.

After the NFL’s preseason schedule was scrapped, the team’s annual fan fest in Oxnard was called off, and the local practice sessions at The Star and the Blue-White scrimmage this Sunday at AT&T Stadium were closed to the public. The first chance Cowboys Nation will now have to see the team in person will be the Week 2 game versus Atlanta. The Los Angeles Rams have already nixed all fan attendance for the team’s opening game at SoFi Stadium as the country continues to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.

State and local guidelines will ultimately dictate the size of the gameday crowds for Cowboys home games. The owner gave an update on where the upper end exists currently.

“The official boundary is at 50% capacity,” Jones told 105.3 The Fan on Friday.

While AT&T Stadium can accommodate over 100,000 with standing-room areas, the 50% cap would likely be able to include only the seating bowls, which hold 80,000 total. That would mean a maximum capacity of 40,000 fans.

But Jones knows things could change between now and kickoff of the team’s home opener, set for September 20.

“Things are evolving. I would imagine we can have as many people out there as far as the demand to be out there as we want. We’ll see how the lay of the land is as we get closer and sell those number of tickets accordingly.”

While Jones quoted the current “official boundary” of the stadium’s capacity as established by the state of Texas, he was reluctant to go on record with how many tickets would actually be made available.

“I can’t give you a straight answer because I don’t know how many fans we’ll have in that stadium. Here we are, the Dallas Cowboys, got one of the greatest stadiums in the world, and I can’t give you a straight answer to that? We’re playing it by ear.

“I’m anticipating adjustments for [a] potential outbreak, if you will… The key word is flexibility and adapting to a need to change.”

It will already be a surreal season, as many clubs across the league have already announced that there will be no fans in their stadiums for the duration of 2020. As of August 27, Washington has also said no to live fans for the season. Seattle has announced zero attendance for its first three games, which includes Dallas on September 27. The remaining five cities on the Cowboys’ travel schedule are operating on a no-fans-until-further-notice basis.

It’s entirely possible that the only live crowds the team plays in front of all season will be for their own home games. But Jones says he doesn’t believe that would give the Cowboys an unfair edge.

“I don’t know that,” Jones demurred, recalling his own college playing days when Arkansas would travel to Austin to play Texas. He says the roar of the Longhorn faithful had him ready to “run through a wall,” despite playing for the other team.

“The scene doesn’t just enthuse the home team. And it doesn’t have to be intimidating at all. It can inspire the visiting team as well. No, I don’t believe that’s a competitive advantage.”

The erstwhile salesman may try to downplay the crowd to the eight opposing squads coming into Arlington this season, but he did admit that an empty stadium just might provide a slight help when his own Cowboys players enter the notoriously raucous CenturyLink Field.

“I will say this: It’s going to be nice to have, hopefully, a quieter crowd in Seattle than we’re used to, to be specific about it.”

Ravens announce attendance cap for 2020; what about Cowboys?

Fewer than 14,000 will attend Ravens games this fall; what would a similar attendance percentage look like in Dallas?

As the NFL plods forward with their plans to hold a 2020 regular season in the middle of a global pandemic, the focus- rightfully so- has been on keeping players and team personnel safe. But for the most popular sport in the country, uncertainty about fans’ participation has been lurking in the background ever since the phrase “social distancing” entered the national lexicon.

As football fans wonder how forty thousand to ninety thousand bodies will safely occupy the league’s 30 stadiums on any given Sunday this fall, the Baltimore Ravens have an answer no one wanted to hear: they won’t.

The team has announced that fewer than 14,000 fans will be allowed into Ravens home games under Maryland state and local laws. M & T Bank Stadium seats over 71,000.

That’s approximately 19% capacity.

No other teams have released expected figures or attendance plans for their stadiums, though the Packers and Chiefs have confirmed that they will seat just a fraction of fans for 2020 home games. The Packers have also announced that face coverings will be mandatory for all fans in attendance at Lambeau Field. The league has already declared that the lowermost rows of seats at every stadium would be tarped off to keep fans and players adequately separated.

At AT&T Stadium in Arlington, 80,000 fans can be seated for Cowboys home games. Attendance figures for games often surpass that number, though, thanks to multiple standing areas located inside the gates.

The league is allowing each team to set its own attendance policy, theoretically following appropriate state, county, and city guidelines. Last month, Texas governor Greg Abbott allowed his state’s sports venues to operate at 50% capacity, up from 25% previously.

But using Baltimore’s 19% as a purely hypothetical guide, it would make any Cowboys home games played in 2020 some highly-sought-after tickets.

According to ESPN figures, the Cowboys averaged 90,929 fans per game in 2019. Nineteen percent of that equates to just 17,276 fans. If all of AT&T Stadium’s standing areas are closed off entirely, a “full-capacity” crowd is just 15,200, a downright intimate gathering for a Cowboys game at JerryWorld.

The Ravens’ decision will kickstart a lengthy and possibly complicated refund process for current ticketholders. PSL owners will have first priority at securing 2020 home seats. Fans who already own season tickets will see their seats saved and rolled over to 2021. Single-game ticket sales have been put on hold; those who already have single-game tickets will be refunded.

Of course, if there’s another round of widespread pandemic shutdowns, it’s not even guaranteed that any fans at all will be allowed in any stadiums by the time Week 1 arrives. But then again, it’s not a lock that there will be a 2020 NFL season, so the news out of Baltimore could well become a moot point.

But it is a disheartening announcement for fans clinging to the hope that football will look anything like it’s supposed to at any point in the near future.
