Panthers Playing A Game In London Next Year?

[Moorgan]

I was kinda hoping to go to the Eagles game. So if that's the one in London, I'll be a little disappointed. Can't afford that flight...although I do know a girl over there...hmmmm. Might be worth it.

you can do it for well under a grand RT if you look in the right places

single people stay in hostels 

minus ticket cost i bet the entire trip could be swung on less than a thousand dollars.

edit: i found a flight for a five day RT to london out of baltimore for $500 with a cursory search. it’s very very doable

Would I automatically get a great seat in London or a refund?

Pretty sure they're just going to steal your money.

Totally understand why losing a home game is a nightmare for you guys, however a game in London this year would save me £££ in flights from UK to Charlotte. Bring it on!!

How would that affect season tickets?

I do have a question I was curious about... If we lose a home game to that poo, do season ticket holder/psl people get a discount or refund?

$499 direct flight from Denver. Nine hours later I'm yelling at people for driving on the wrong side of the road

The fixtures get announced tomorrow but someone sent me this below. If true, the fact that Jaguars are on the right side of the vs suggests that it's written the US-style away@home, rather than the English home vs away.

If this is bollocks and Panthers lose a home game then obviously there's the PSL issue, and I don't know how other clubs have dealt with it. When the English Premiership were looking at doing a few International Series games themselves, they proposed extending every club's season from 38 games to 39, with the extra game being a neutral one in Malaysia, Australia, Charlotte etc. Wouldn't that be a better way?

But even so, I'd rather you all have an exciting away game. 8 hours or so from CLT/RDU, so not that much longer than West Coast. But having been to 4 or 5 International Series games they're more of a spectacle than a home-away tie. What should be a home crowd becomes a few thousand home fans, a few thousand away fans, then the rest of the stadium being full of every other jersey.

The games sell out quickly and I don't think there's any notable resale facility, so you'll struggle to pick what blocks to sit in after the original one or two home and away blocks get sold straight by the clubs themselves in the USA.

Airlines: Norwegian and Primera can have fantastic prices, which you can get from a decent hub airport. I haven't heard of anyone going with Primera, but Norwegian is definitely a pleasant surprise apparently.
