It's going to be a full stadium because of Cowboys fans. They seem to travel well in every city. I will never understand how they became America's team.smh

"Travel Well"...from the trailer parks of Gaston County...( Disclaimer: No offense is intended for Panther Fans living in or around the greater Gastonia-Ranlo metro area)

It is embarrassing but frankly it's just supply and demand.  The only thing we can do is make it easier for Panthers fans to sell to other verified Panthers fans. But if you want top $$$ for your investment, then the vising fans, or the transplants,  are always going be willing to pay more.  

It can ultimately impact the result of the game.  I think we often underestimate the importance of home field advantage and making it difficult for their offense to operate.

What I’ve heard is even nose bleed seats their are so astronomical that regular people like me can’t afford them

yeah that picture i posted was from 2013 and the way i saw it explained was that joe cowboys fan in the dallas/ft. worth area couldn't afford the ticket but a rich norcal transplant could.

Read what you just typed and think about how poorly that would work out for the NFL, the Panthers and ALL the fans.

The NFL doesn't make profits from a PSL owner selling his tickets. Seriously think about why the heck they'd like this.

You are mistaken.  People talk and that’s all they do

Yeah ok people just pretend they'd buy a PSL but wouldn't. That's why we shouldn't sell the PSLs to other people. Riiiight. Or maybe greedy owners don't want to lose thier money maker. Seriously though leave PSLs alone and go invest in stocks and property. Leave the PSLs for actual fans. #changetheculture

Cool, I hope the thousands of Dallas fans that come spend tons of money in NC/SC

I'm certain the vast majority of them aren't "coming" far... enough of those fans all over NC and SC.

[MillionDollarCam]

These aren't visiting fans.... The shitheads live here.

The perk of living in NC is you have everything... Beach, mountains, lakes, cities, suburbs. The downside is you have to deal with all the trash from Florida, Texas, California, Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts etc.

What is the issue? Visiting fans means outside money coming into the city! We all would love an all Panther stadium...but in the grand scheme of things..all those visiting fans will be paying for our new practice facility,  perhaps a new stadium in time, giving money to the city to offset whatever costs Charlotte may be asked to share in the future, great bars downtown to drink at...etc etc. 

This argument that PSL owners are sellouts to the team because they sell tickets is bullshit. Those people made a GREAT investment..and can enjoy the games and pay those prices for food and beer....or sit at home..collect a 50% return on their investment, and enjoy MUCH better beer and food at a fraction of the price.

 

 

You sound like a PSL owner....that just sold his seats. 

and I don't buy into the outside money coming in when it relates to the Cowboys, Steelers, Redskins or Falcons.   They are not bringing much more money to the table than the Panther fan would.  Because they likely live here or close by and aren't pumping money into hotel stays etc.

Tepper has stated that one of his goals is to make sure Panther fans give the team a real home field advantage on game days.

How to accomplish that? Don't know, but I don't doubt that he's going to try.

I haven't heard the OP mention if he is either a) going to the game, or b) is a PSL holder.

It will be the first home opener I miss literally in the history of the team because I'll be celebrating my dad's 60th birthday in New Hampshire.

I blame the for profit PSL owners. The stadium should be policed. And a PSL should be revoked if you never use your seats and only sell to opposing fans. There are plenty of people who would buy your PSL and actually go to games. 

When I offer to sell my game tickets to fans, I get no takers or they want them for a "deal". So I sell to whoever is willing to pay. 

And don't slam me for selling. I live 600 miles away so I don't come to every home game. I sell at least half.

Yes you should

to keep my seats, I had the initial investment, and every year, another 5200 dollars, should they make playoffs, that’s more 

...and oh yeah, during the down years, Weinke and Clausen come to mind, guess what, it’s still 5200 and I can’t give them away 

it is also the reason the stadium is sold out and gams are on tv

i tried selling my tickets on this very board for face price when I could not attend, no takers 

best of all, after 20 years of support, if they move to another stadium, I’m out 

Amen!
