The backup though is getting thru the metal detectors, you don’t dig your e ticket out until your they that part. The ticket scanners are usually waiting on people to get thru the security in my experience.

Either ways it’s out of hand. They need way more metal detectors or just wand everyone, it’s probably quicker. Watch the detectors, they flash red every time, I’m not sure they are even effective.

STH holder for 15+ years and this years was the worst by far..... We we at the Community America gate and took the running back method - if there was a break or hole in the line you took it. Lined up at 4:25 got in at 5:10.

Eleazar 01-22-2019 11:35 AM
Had no issues, but we didn't wait until the last minute to go in, either.

I had a chat with a guy behind me. Guy put his hand in the small of my back and literally shoved forward. I figured it must have been my buddy just dicking around but nope - just some asshole that thinks that's a good idea.

He started with this "hey, settle down man" shit after I turned and said my piece and I hadn't raised my voice or even swore at him. I just said that's gonne be the last time he does that and I let him know that he's damn lucky I was plenty 'settled down' already because there are a lot of dudes in this line that would've already kicked his ass without saying a word for that crap.

I couldn't believe it. Who pushes a ****ing stranger?

I would have put you in a headlock and removed you from the line

I had a guy in line next to me that offered me a tug off his Jack Daniels three or four times (No thanks, dude...can I get an STD from a bottle of Jack?) He kept telling me his life story; that he went to Wyandotte and played basketball with Larry Drew and he always liked Norm Stewart even though he hates Mizzou and yap yap yap. Meanwhile the sun is going down, my wife is slowly turning blue and I've moved about ten feet in 30 minutes. And I have to pee. Besides that, it was tons of fun.

I sat at home and got some work done watched the game on my giant big screen then went back and got some stuff done. Saved enough money to take the lil lady on vacation.

Well shit, that explains it. I was recording the National Anthem when mine blacked out - when I got it back on the battery was almost gone. I had no idea they performed that poorly in cold weather.

We got in line about 40 minutes before the Jaguars game and missed the entire first quarter. I think we were in line for a good solid hour. For the AFC Championship Game, we got in line about an hour and ten minutes before kickoff and waited only about 20 minutes. As another poster mentioned, the key is to get in the middle lines. Even if it looks a little longe. If you get in on the edges you are going to be screwed.

I had a guy walk up and try to hand me 20 bucks to let them get in line in front of me "hey buddy you gonna let us getin here, right? "

Me: "nope" and let the 20 fall on the ground.

**** that

Good for you.
I hate it when people try to buy privilege on the cheap. Make it $200 and we'll talk...

The briber needs to be smart about it too. Come up and say "Bob! I finally got parked. How's it going bro? You freeze to death yet?"

Before "Bob" can respond, you shake his hand and slap in at least a $20. Then give him a pleading smile, hope he plays along and no one else saw it.

Niether did we. I hope that wasn't meant as a slight because I considered blowing up on you for this post and fought back the urge.

Look, anyone blaming the fans here has no idea what actually happened. The other gates didn't do this according to anyone else I spoke with. They were moving according to script.



At this gate, however, the line wouldn't move for 10-15 minute intervals and then suddenly the entire thing would just squeeze forward 3-4 strides with people pushing like a phalanx in medieval war. I've had STs for over a decade and while I am usually in early, I've gone in at all different times and with over 100 games of experience under my belt I have NEVER seen anything like that.



The people manning the Community America gate between lots F and E simply lost the damn thread. It was a complete failure on the part of Arrowhead and their security.
Thank you

So you took the Dee Ford route, found the neutral zone, and got in it?

That's almost exactly what he tried. Acted like he knew me and tried to slip a 20 when he shook hand. I didn't take the money so it fell.

The letting him in part was said quieter than the hey buddy part lol

suzzer99 01-22-2019 07:40 PM
Then he picked the wrong accomplice obviously. You must look Italian or something. #UPTOP

We were at the Community 'Merica gate and there were a couple of guys that looked like they wanted to fight. There were few people between them and we were packed in so tight they's have never gotten to each other if they wanted to.

The one thing I kept saying was thank god I'm not claustrophobic. It was ****ing sardines in that line.

GloryDayz 01-22-2019 09:37 PM
I find the lines on the way in are when people are at their coolest. It's a party. Nobody seems ready to fight anybody.

agreed, waiting in line sucks but everybody stayed pretty cool. Well until kickoff when they all started screaming LET US IN. LMAO

True, but we got in the weekend before just before kickoff.

I'm not sure what they're going to do, but this electronic deal isn't working very well.

I've always headed in around 45 minutes prior to the game and never missed pregame intros or the anthem at this gate. Based on previous experiences 1 hour should have been more than enough. There was clearly something wrong with how security was screening at this gate for this game.

Unfortunately, we will probably never know. This shit continues next year and that may end me attending games. That said, if they increase the ticket prices again this year, that may end me sooner.

I'm a former STH, and I've loved the freedom to go when I want/can. With my hockey schedule it gets tough, but we go enough IMO, and not paying for preseason is wonderful.

eh. If I drop season tickets, I probably won't go to any games. I don't care for the upcharge that comes with single game tickets.

I don’t think so. I’ve been to numerous games in Seattle and never spent more than 10-15 minutes to get through security, also in Denver we tailgated until about 20 minutes before kickoff, and made it through security and to our seats before kickoff.

This was my experience. No problems on the lot C side.

But the pre-game sucked when the flyover screwed up the “home of the CHIEFS” part of the national anthem. Gave me flashbacks to 97 when they screwed blowing up Elway in effigy. I knew it wasn’t a good sign...

RINGLEADER 01-23-2019 04:04 AM
They also seem to have real issues at times scanning tickets off phones but not sure if that is a case-by-case thing or something else...

Don't go that far man. I've almost never paid face value for tickets I've bought. Granted, the surcharges might take it over, but there's nothing worse than paying the same price for preseason. I know they'd just adjust the other games if we demanded to see a cheaper price for preseason on the ticket, but the point remains that paying close to face price for a 3-4 games a year is very nice...

Chiefspants 01-23-2019 02:09 PM
Had this issue in our game against Oakland.

We were 20 or so minutes early to the gate (hadn't seen a game since 2013 and figured we'd be fine).

Missed half of the first quarter, it was 14-0 when we got our seats.

Yikes that looks awful. Glad there were not any crowd crushes or anything like that.
