Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Where do I pick up my tickets?
A. At the Lutz Chiefs Barn between September 16 – 19, 2024.

Q. How many tickets do I have to buy?
A. None. The goal is for every family to sell their tickets to friends, family and colleagues.

Q. How many tickets do I have to sell?
A. Families with one athlete in the Lutz Chiefs are required to sell 20 tickets. Families with multiple athletes in the Lutz Chiefs are required to sell 25 tickets. Each ticket is $10.

Q. I sold all my tickets. Can I get more?
A. Sure! Contact Joe Roberts to turn in what you've sold so far and pick up more tickets.

Q. Can someone pay for a ticket online?
A. We'll be selling tickets at our home games that can be paid through our general PayPal donation site, but those do not count toward any particular athlete family. You can accept any form of payment personally (your own personal venmo, cash app, etc. account), but need to pay the Chiefs either cash, check or PayPal online (covering the cc fees) when you turn in your tickets.  

Q. What if I don’t want to participate in the fundraiser?
A. We have one fundraiser annually. When you registered for the season, you agreed to participate in the fundraiser as part of your athlete's registration. This fundraiser is mandatory. Failure to participate may result in your athlete being suspended from play-off games or pulled from cheer competitions. 

Q. Can I just buy the tickets?
A. Yes. When you pick up your tickets, let us know. You can fill out your tickets and pay via check, cash or PayPal.

Q. What if I don’t sell my required number of tickets?
A. That is a discussion to have privately with the President of the Lutz Chiefs, but please remember that you agreed to participate during your athlete's registration.

Q. What if I sell a winning ticket to someone outside of the area?
A. All prizes will be shipped directly to winners, so you are encouraged to reach out to friends and family outside of the area.

Q. Why do we need to raise funds, don't we already pay registration fees?
A. The short answer is that unfortunately, registration fees only pay a fraction of the costs needed to run the organization.

Typical expenses:

  • Athlete uniforms, shirts, shorts, jerseys, backpacks, etc.
  • Athlete equipment (e.g. new helmets, helmet reconditioning, shoulder pads, practice pants/jerseys, etc.)
  • Team practice equipment (blocking pads, dummies, cones, cheer mats, etc.)
  • Field maintenance (field striping, pest control, security cameras, general up-keep, golf cart maintenance, etc.)
  • Game-day supplies (tents, water coolers & bottles, tables, first-aid supplies, field markers, signs, flags, fencing, etc.)
  • Events (holiday celebrations, homecoming, end-of-season parties)
  • Operational costs (internet, office supplies, propane, insurance, cleaning supplies, concessions equipment, competition fees, league fees, accountant, etc.)
  • Potential playoff/competition travel costs.
This fundraiser bridges the financial gap that registration fees don’t cover.

Our concession sales, gate fees and sponsorships help cover the cost of our security at our home games, the cost of referees and game film.

Q. What were the funds from last year’s fundraiser used for?
A. The funds were used for our expansion to single-age football (game-day needs such as coolers, coaches equipment, fencing, game-clock, etc.) and travel to Cheer Regionals and Nationals. We also purchased additional tents and football gear.  A portion is ear-marked for permanent bleacher shading.

Q. Can we raise funds using another mechanism?
A. Please feel free to contact me (Joe Roberts) and we can discuss your idea(s).
