In anticipation of the National Football Leagues guidelines being provided to clubs concerning stadium setup modifications and reduced capacity due to the continuous COVID-19 pandemic, the Chiefs have revealed a strategy that uses one of the most flexibility and advantages for Season Ticket Members for what will be an extraordinary NFL season in 2020.
Due to the fact that the club can not relatively re-seat the whole season ticket base across a limited number of seats, all Season Ticket Members will instantly have their 2020 payment credited for the 2021 season without any action on their part. Keeping their payment as a credit towards 2021 includes the following advantages:
When decreased capacity single-game tickets go on sale to Season Ticket Members and the public, it is most likely that the club will just sell tickets for the preseason and the very first few games of the routine season. As the season advances, the club will follow the guidance of local authorities and public health experts, with the goal being that local guidelines will enable for an increased capability later in the season.
As we looked at methods to navigate this uncommon season, our very first concern was to provide a reasonable and versatile strategy for our loyal and valued Season Ticket Members, and we think we accomplished that. Season Ticket Members who retain their 2020 funds as a credit for 2021 will be given first access to purchase single-game tickets in a priority order, based on their period. Any staying single-game tickets will be offered to the public following the Season Ticket Member presale.
Season Ticket Members who want to receive a complete refund vs. a 2021 credit can pick to do so by calling their ticket agent over the phone or via e-mail. While those who decide to receive a refund will not be qualified for the above advantages in 2020, they will still be issued a 2021 renewal for their same season ticket place( s) and will maintain their period.
Beyond the NFLs stadium setup modifications, the club continues to work carefully with the NFL, representatives of The University of Kansas Health System, Populous, along with city government authorities and public health professionals on additional capacity and functional modifications for the security of all fans, staff, players and coaches. All elements of the gameday experience for the upcoming season– consisting of parking, tailgating, visitor service, drink and food, retail and arena operations– are being examined and will be revealed prior to the start of the season.
Due to the inability to accommodate all Season Ticket Members, there is no other way to account for buyers who have actually already secured single-game tickets. All single-game tickets purchased through the primary market will be released an automated refund to the method of payment. For any tickets purchased through a resale marketplace, ticket purchasers will require to go to the marketplace used to evaluate their choices. Single-game parking passes that have actually currently been bought through the team will immediately be reimbursed to the method of payment too.
STMs will be automatically included in a single-game presale for any offered seats in 2020, once a final capability is determined.
Their credit can be made use of to buy single-game tickets for a reduced-capacity 2020 season, if they pick.
They will get their 2020 Season Ticket Member box with special presents.
STM rates will stay flat for 2021 and they will accrue a year of STM tenure for the 2020 season, no matter if they go to any video games or not in 2020.
In the occasion that the club is permitted to host a full-capacity crowd for any potential championship game, STMs that did not choose a refund will be offered the very first opportunity to buy their seats.
Parking or hospitality club passes purchased as part of a Season Ticket Membership can be managed precisely like tickets– either as a credit for 2021 or a full-refund, if asked for.
” People around the nation and around the world are getting accustomed to a continuously changing environment and the very same opts for all of us in Chiefs Kingdom,” Chiefs President Mark Donovan stated. “While our objective all offseason was to have a full arena as we begin our Super Bowl title defense, it is out of factor to consider of the health and wellness of our fans, staff members, coaches and players that we progress with a reduced-capacity plan that abides by local guidelines and professional recommendations. As we took a look at ways to browse this unusual season, our first priority was to use a versatile and reasonable prepare for our loyal and valued Season Ticket Members, and our company believe we achieved that. While it will be a various experience for everyone, we are eagerly anticipating welcoming fans to Arrowhead this fall.”
When reduced capacity single-game tickets go on sale to Season Ticket Members and the general public, it is most likely that the club will only offer tickets for the preseason and the very first couple of video games of the routine season. As the season progresses, the club will follow the guidance of local officials and public health professionals, with the goal being that regional policies will permit an increased capacity later on in the season. Any modification that increases capacity throughout the season would offer more fans the ability to buy single-game tickets in more areas.
The club will reveal and carry out a reduced-capacity single-game on-sale once the last variety of available seats is identified based upon the assistance of the NFL, along with city government officials and public health professionals. Season Ticket Members who keep their 2020 funds as a credit for 2021 will be offered first access to purchase single-game tickets in a concern order, based on their period. This Season Ticket Member procedure will take location through password-protected online accounts. Any remaining single-game tickets will be provided to the public following the Season Ticket Member presale.
