Rumor: (Confirmed) Carolina Panthers to charge admission to Fan Fest in 2017

[Datawire]

I have a friend that has been working for the organization now for a few years.There was a company meeting a few weeks ago that was attended and It was explained to me that this years Fan Fest will involve an admittance fee. It wasn't said whether it was fifty dollars or fifty cents, only that there will be an admittance fee. The organization will be treating this event as a regular season game day. After the past season ticket system, and people trying to profit off of it, it will now be a fee based ticket system this year. I have no reason to believe I was lied to and I have done several internet searches to see if this claim is in fact true or false. I have come up empty in my endeavors. To be clear this is only an unsubstantiated internet rumor imposed by me based on the things I have been told. What say you Huddle, can you find anything in regards to this?

 

Oh, also by the way. Adults that are sitting in the end zone when a touch down is scored and Cam wants to give the ball to a kid and you, as an adult, interfere. You will be asked to leave the stadium. There has been a real problem from adults taking the balls away from the kids when Cam scores a TD.

Any adult that would try to take a ball from a kid needs to be ejected. Or kicked in the groin

It's a very small amount and it's for charity. No big deal.

I mean....hypothetically if they were going to charge I'm sure it would be a small amount and for a good cause.

Even more, ban them from the stadium forever and revoke their fandom. That's some low poo there.

Fan Fest is usually more entertaining than a pre-season game.  Slap $20 on it, I will pay.

 

McCaffrey is worth $15 by himself.

If it's more than 5 bucks I won't go. It should be free they make tons on merch and food sales.

Can't wait to see everyone here who loses their minds over tossing a few dollars to charity.

Looks like I'm not going! Not after a damn losing season am I going to pay ! I could understand after 15 and 1 then I'm ok but not after last season!

Yup. These losers should pay to see us...

The problem is all the people that scooped up 6 tickets last year because they were free and ended up just not going. So many empty seats last year.

If they charge a small fee it will automatically eliminate those wishy washy fans who claim a block of seats without knowing if they will go or not.

Yep - exactly. 

And the show at the end of practice alone is worth the $5 charity donation to get in. Let's all think here before overreacting.

It's worth going just to know that Chuck and the retired racist won't be there since they refuse to pay

What a sad little party they are having together.
