Well, that didn't take long.
If you found yourself hoping to secure a ticket or two for the Kansas City Chiefs' debut in Germany, you needed to be one of the lucky few (thousand) who were able to secure an early spot in Ticketmaster's oft-frustrating line. That's because tickets for the game scheduled for November 5 were sold out within minutes.

Fans at Arrowhead are likely sad to miss the reunion, but it will make for must-watch football either way.
The Chiefs-Dolphins game is Kansas City's final game before the bye. Both teams will play on Sunday morning at 8:30 a.m. C.T. on November 5. You can see the complete regular-season schedule here.
