Chiefs Sales Guy: “Long list of people who will Buy As Soon As Herm And Carl Are No Longer Here.”

// December 5th, 2008 // Thoughts

A message board community for Chiefs fans had a great thread showing a conversation between someone working in sales at the Chiefs (poor guy) and a potential ticket buyer.

The Chiefs fan got an e-mail talking about how there were still tickets left for the two remaining home games this year and that this was a good time to reserve season tickets for next year. He replied that he should be put down for tickets when Herm and Carl are fired…the sales person said verbatim “I have a long list of people who will buy as soon as Herm and Carl are no longer here.”

This is where we are right now with the Chiefs. Pretty amazing. Source info via Chiefs Planet. Feel free to check out the actual e-mail conversation (with the names changed to protect the innocent) after the jump.

I will write your name down. I have to tell you though, I have a long list of people who will buy as soon as Herm and Carl are no longer here. If you get a deposit down today for only $100 per seat you 

are guaranteed great seat locations for 2009. Herm and Carl could be gone, they could not. Worst case scenario you have great seats, or you can simply apply that deposit to single game tickets next 

year. If you wait, you might not have a shot. Think it over and let me know. If not, I will hold your name and contact you at a later date.

I tell you what. Write my name down. As soon as Herm is fired and Carl resigns, I’ll be the first in line to buy tickets.

For many years there was a waiting list. There no longer is. Right now is the perfect time to become a season ticket holder if you have ever thought of becoming one. All you need to do is put down a 

deposit of $100 per seat and we can lock you into guaranteed seat locations. Once Season Ticket prices are released you can either move forward on being a 2009 Chiefs Season Ticket Holder OR use the 

deposit for 2009 Single Game Tickets. We have great seats available for season tickets. The locations that we have open have not been available for the better part of a decade. Just let me know if you 

would like get discuss seat locations and get a deposit down. Thanks!

Best

I was under the impression that there was a waiting list to obtain season tickets. Is this not the case?
