Chiefs’ season members and sponsors snapped up 8000 tickets in the last two days during their early purchase window.
“We are grateful for the faith that our season members and sponsors, have shown. They are a part of our family and have backed us prior to the beginning of the season. To have such a big up-take from them during their purchase window was a great reward to them.”
