You and me both, dude. Counting on boyst's theory or I will petition to have him banned from here if it doesn't work out.

They have already dropped like crazy. I am not worried. 

Trust the process.

 

Watch the face value tickets vs the resale. The chiefs have insurance on their tickets to sell at a $$ and Ticketmaster manages the tickets. The price on those will fall and usually to about $270 for lower bowl between 30's (for whatever reason). That's when ***** gets serious.

StubHub has a few on the Bills side under $500.

Vivid has been the cheapest for me

so far. In My experience TM has always been the most expensive for most things? Are you saying they’ll be the cheapest come game day?
 

I am not worried and am ok with waking up Sunday AM and buying them then.

They'll change back and forth. Ticketmaster is the highest because people are afraid of SH and Vivid but those companies work directly with the teams. I've had issues where the tickets won't transfer but go to the ticket office for the team - they can see the SH and Vivid info.

 

And by GameDay who knows but SH is great for game day.

 

Always have a floor and ceiling on your price. If you're going to wager on getting cheap last minute tickets that are premium spots and can afford it buy what I call the entry ticket. A nosebleed for $100.

 

This is true for all things, not just this weekend. 

 

This weekends game is starting to see movement on tickets. By 3 pm local is the next window I use to forecast. So 4 pm Eastern (KC is central time I think)

I live in KC and am watching them. Once the lower bowl hit 300 with fees I'm striking. Have some friends here who paid 400 for uppers just a few days ago. And if they don't, I'll be happy watching on TV!

Still white knuckling tickets at the moment. My better half is terrified that we have flights and no fake day tickets. I’m determined to get on the Bills sideline in the lower bowl for less than $500 w/fees.

That's the way to go. I had almost pulled the trigger last Sunday in the third to get a flight and take it from there.

 

Wait until the last minute and don't break your bank. 

 

I don't have the connections in that area like I do other places - place to stay, people going, etc.

Resale prices are now dropping below the prices directly from the team.  

 

Examples:
sec 134 row 29 from team $495+.  Row 27 resale now $450+

sec 102 row 38 from team $650+, Row 20 resale now $595+

 

It looks like all seats in the upper deck are now resale only, but cheapest seats now $239+

[QB Bills]

When do you think would be the ideal time to pull the trigger on a pair for tomorrow? Sometimes getting too close to gametime backfires and seats start disappearing and/or jumping in price.

I am shocked to see the number of seats still available!

The price will likely continue to fall ... 

Will Bills fans be a significant portion of the crowd?

Is this like the game that turned into "The Comeback" that didn't sell out in Buffalo 'cause so many were saving for the next game?

I know that's different because there will be no more games at Arrowhead this season no matter what the outcome - but it seems strange to me.

We will see.

Tickets arent cheap in this economy.

just checked chiefs ticketmaster. here's the lowest current prices per ticket (all include taxes/fees):

 

lowers

 

between the 40s: $1200

30-40 yd line: $900

goal line-30 yd line (avg): $775

corners: $600

end zone: $535

 

club

 

between the 40s: $2000+

30-40 yd line: $1750

goal line-30 yd line (avg): $1600

corners: $1250

endzone: $1050

 

uppers

 

you can find seats as low as $330. but these are mostly confined to corners in the upper rows and arrowhead is a huge stadium (4th largest capacity in the nfl) so those are not great seats. for low-row uppers in good locations you're likely spending above $500/seat. 

 

Probably why our new stadium is smaller

It's a tricky place to get to for most Bills fans and the KC fans have been at big home playoff games for years now, so not a must see for them anymore, it's checked off the bucket list.

Hold the line. The next phase is those who have extra tickets or can't go that will list them. That is usually 2-300 tickets

 

 

[boyst]

Upper deck under $200 regularly now and starting to move.  Still believe it is too early.

 

Around 9pm the action will likely begin as people want to secure tickets before morning.

 

I believe it may still be too early and better deals will be had around 10-11 before many people realize "eff it, the game is 5 hours away by car, let's go."

 

I'd forecast the time to buy between 9-11am tomorrow as the safest.

 

For those looking to do the two ticket system for cheapest possible - 2-3pm to get a nosebleed then hope the opportunity comes to buy a highly discounted seat after kickoff.

 

This being an away game for a Bills fan they will be quick to remove you from the game if you poach. Poaching is where you scout empty or unused seats then move up to use them. The NFL has begun removing fans who do this. 

[QB Bills]

Doesn't look like tickets are coming down much from the last couple of days. Time to pull the trigger?

[beebe]

Get in price close to $500 now. Prices have almost doubled.

Give it time. Trust me. 

Prices are not falling but supply is - therefore the tickets people are or have reduced sell as soon as they are.

 

Lots of tickets remain too high that will drop soon. Upper level beneath $200. Just have to be looking frequently.

 

Get your entrance ticket and wait for lower bowl if you dare. I would. That means $150 to get in and I'd spend a max of $200 in game to move up to a premium spot after kickoff.

No. Tickets are coming down but they're being scooped up as soon as they do. 

 

If you're ready find your price point you want to buy at and browse for 15-20 minutes refreshing until you see the ticket prices you want. Right now upper bowl $200-250 upper bowl is standard. 

[QB Bills]

It was too stressful. I buckled and paid 500 (fees included) for upper bowl 50 yard line. Flew in from Toronto. Didn't want to risk it having to pay through the nose as prices seemed to be trending upward today.

 

Thanks for your suggestions boyst. But unlike Josh, I'm not cool under pressure.

Owners need to think long and hard about how current technology and stadium pricing across the board makes staying home to watch the game a very attractive option. I'm not sure how some teams without a tailgating culture even consistently sell out - that seems to be the one benefit to regularly attending in person.

Our awesome tailgate party, is what sustained me, for the 17 drought years. I would've stayed home, otherwise.

[boyst]

Upper deck now falling to $210 avg, below $200 if your scour.

 

Lower level falling below $350, avg remaining at $400.

 

Enough tickets out there I would still hold and get a solid "entry ticket." I'd not just get a nosebleed, but I'd still put $150 aside to move up in the first quarter. 

 

 

Btw. These tickets are ridiculously cheaper than Phili. Those tickets right now are still $300-600+
