Chiefs 2012 Tickets Now Available

The Chiefs have just made 2012 single game tickets available to the general public. Earlier this week, Jackson County residents were able to buy tickets, and now all Chiefs fans can reserve their seats for the upcoming season.

Tickets may be purchased online at ticketmaster.com, by phone at (800) 745-3000, in person at a Ticketmaster outlet, or at the Arrowhead Stadium Ticket Office. Tickets start at $30. For a full listing of Ticketmaster outlets, please click here.

Aside from single-game tickets, fans can also purchase a Pick 5 plan or a Divisional 3-Pack plan. The Pick 5 plan lets fans pick four regular season games of their choice paired with a preseason game, while the Divisional 3-Pack provides a ticket to all three AFC West home games.

The team has several marquee home contests that will likely determine how far the Chiefs will go this year. Kansas City opens the season hosting the Atlanta Falcons, and also has early home dates with the San Diego Chargers and the Baltimore Ravens in back-to-back weeks. The Chiefs have a critical three-game home stand that starts in late November, when the team will host the Cincinnati Bengals, Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers in consecutive weeks. This stretch could very well determine the Chiefs’ playoff fate, as the team will be fresh off road contests against San Diego and Pittsburgh. Kansas City’s final home game comes in week 16, when the team hosts the Indianapolis Colts and recent top overall draft pick Andrew Luck.

Eddie Kennison Will Retire as a Chief

After failing to find a team who was interested in his services, Eddie Kennison signed with the Kansas City Chiefs. Rather than making one last comeback attempt, Kennison is signing with the team so he can retire as a Chief.

Kennison, a 13 year veteran, also played for the Rams, Bears, Broncos and Saints. Despite being a notorious journeyman, Kennison enjoyed considerable success for the Chiefs, and was a leading receiver on the Dick Vermeil coached teams that boasted one of the league's most feared offenses.

Given the nature of the NFL today, it is refreshing to see an athlete like Kennison make a heart-felt gesture towards a team and community that embraced him and gave him a second chance in the league. Hopefully other athletes will follow Kennison's lead and show appreciation to teams that gave them a chance or second chances to boost their own career.

Tickets for the up-coming season will go on sale July 28th for Jackson County residents and July 30th to the general public.
