Roll Call for Fan Fest

[CoastalCat]

I keep hearing that the Panthers are expecting a packed house tonight. I'm a little bit worried that, because tickets are free, that a ton of people got on and grabbed 6 tickets on the off chance that they'd get around to going. Then another large group of people grabbed as many as they could in hopes of selling them, but probably didn't. So now, a bunch of people with tickets won't go, and a bunch of people who want to go don't have tickets. Hope I'm wrong, but I won't be surprised if the stadium isn't as full as last year.

Sounds about right... With that said, I really want to go so let me know if anyone has extra tix. Willing to pick them up too.

Thanks to @TheHuddler, I'll be there too!

Wish I did. We're using ours. Anyone who grabbed some and aren't using them, put them up on here to get butts in the seats.

I got six in case others couldn't.  I know several people who waited for hours, and the event was sold out well before they could get logged in.  I'm only using two myself, but I'm glad I was able to help at least four other people get there, who wouldn't have been able to otherwise.  Unfortunately, I know several others who would love to go, but can't, because of the assholes trying to sell them.  Some people make me so fuging sick...

Section 127 can't wait takes me a hour to get to Charlotte.  I'm taking 29 probably like last year had no problems or traffic just stop lights.

I'm willing to bet 90-95% of the seats that are given are filled unless it rains.

Can someone make a thread for people who have extra tickets?

On that note, it looks like we might be okay, as far as weather is concerned.  So far, it's looking like it will be broken up by the time practice starts.

Hope you're right. Just doubt that the "I both have and need tickets at the same time" guys who want $100 for them will be giving them all away if they don't sell.

I think you're overestimating the amount of ticket that went into scalpers hands. I know there are some on Ebay and various ticket sites but not enough to make a noticeable difference.

 

I hope everyone that goes has a blast and I'm glad they came up with a somewhat successful resolution after last year's fiasco. Also, if you see one in another team's jersey point them in the direction of 77 or 85 and tell them to GTFO.

You're right. I would think that the highest percentage of empty seats would be from people who picked them up because they were free, with little intention of actually making it.

I do definitely like the new approach in terms of actually having a seat. As much as I like getting in line at 4:00, enjoying beers for a couple more hours is going to be pretty nice.

Will there be any type of live steam to watch for those who can't make it?
