Hey Chuckles Chandler, why don't you write a blog about how ridiculous it is to charge fans full price for tickets to preseason games, where the starters play MAYBE one set of downs? It has to be the biggest ripoff in all of sports.
And before you smart guys comment back about 'well don't go if you don't like it', as a PSL holder you have no choice.
Thanks

If I were a PSL holder I would be pissed, and from the viewpoint of the fan and the buyer, this sure seems like a ripoff, but is the Panthers charging full price any different from what is the norm around the league?

Great. Of course the tickets will be sold out to brokers in about 10 seconds, and will be available again for resale at $251-$600 per seat. What a system.

No, matt. All teams charge full price for preseason games.

thats what I thought

Not so Procton, you can get preseason game tickets to Falcons games for as little as $5. Check out the link for proof:

Of course, it is the Falcons...

yeah it is impossible to get panther tickets!!! i've tried for the past two years to get tickets, right when they went on sale at 10am. but was not able to, i guess because eveybody was on there at the same time. But I bet there is hardly any tickets left anyways because all the PSL owners buy them all during the pre sale and sale them on all the rip off ticket broker sites.

News flash for all the fans clammering for change at BOA Stadium, I was on the field last week and was one of the first to see the new video boards, or so I was told. They look impressive, not much larger than the previous ones but they have integrated the scoreboard into the screen itself and it looks quite nice in HD. Also, the Panthers' logo will be on the field after alot of commotion during the offseason! The logo will be placed at the twenty five yard lines with the shield remaining at mid-field. Just thought I would pass that news along.

Info on that is on the Panthers' website, FYI.

That's stubhub, brah. You can't get them for less than full price from the Falcons directly.
Posted by: Michael Procton | Jul 25, 2008 12:20:39 AM
Who would want to pay $51 to $90 for this lousy product? What a ripoff!
Posted by: JP | Jul 25, 2008 12:39:03 AM
steve,
yeah maybe some of us do that, like when Indy and Dallas came here last year. a little harder with this year's schedule though.
but since i'm having to pay $61 a game for crappy preseason games that i normally wouldn't attend, i don't feel bad making some $ to make up for that.
oh and I think someone asked if it was just the Panthers but no, as far as i know its a league-wide mandate...NFL makes every team do it.

Comeon,
You then are one of the people who make our crowd boring and dull by pricing out "real fans"
So I say thank you
Posted by: Billy | Jul 25, 2008 8:36:29 AM
maybe they plane on using Bridges as a reserve tackle or even a starter if Otah isnt ready
Posted by: matt | Jul 25, 2008 9:28:02 AM
you have a good point.bridges did a good job filling in.i thought he did well but the running game was not good,especially on short yardage.at the very least he is an excellent backup who can play guard or tackle.
Posted by: ray | Jul 25, 2008 9:48:02 AM
RG, I like Bridges myself, but guys like him and M. Brown are probably more valuable as backups than starters if it's a close call because of their versatility.
Posted by: Michael Procton | Jul 25, 2008 10:51:12 AM
Oh no, thank YOU Billy for cranking up the "real fan" comments well over a month before the season starts, which just never get tiresome.
How about either making a little more effort to get inside (i.e. find affordable tix, b/c they're out there or pony up a few extra dollars) or just quit your whining.
Seems to me like if you were a "real fan" like you claim, you could figure out a way to see the game in BofA. Otherwise, you'll just have to get used to all of us 70,000 "fake fans" being there instead of you.
Oh, the humanity!

Everyone WAKE up the D-LINE sucks because the offense is 3 and out and they play 3/4ths of the game. Another thing JAKE sucks and always will be backup worthy. IDIOTS. How about this stop complaining about PSL ticket prices for the pre-season and donate them to children who never go to the games like I did. Is it gonna set you back that much, that you have to rip people off during the season. Jake SUCKS and our tickets are worthless with him anyway. Hackett is a much better receiver than Moose but in the land of lets like that guy because of one play or one year, Moose will play. STOP COMPLAINING and JAKE SUCKS
Posted by: panther fan | Jul 25, 2008 12:38:30 PM
JAKE SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
