Hahaha Jerry, you're facing a potential blackout on Sunday

[Sam Mills Fan]

Fox or the team will buy up the tickets if it's just 900. They did it in 2001 when there were thousands of available tickets. Still...very embarrassing and there will be more to buy up later in the season potentially. Many more.

Why is "Hahaha" in the title...? dipsh¡t.

Because Jerry's "genius" plan to cut costs by crippling the team is going to end up costing him more money than if he had just done player deals and free agency like he always did until a couple of years ago.

Well, I'd hate to see it happen if it did - but the Panthers should have expected this.

[Jangler]

Its the economy more than the Panthers.

But...but...the economy is getting better.

I guess the fans are getting ready for the collective bargaining talks just like JR is. Oh well, I'm sure this was expected. Not like Panther fans have been positive when calling radio stations and posting on message baords.

I'll be there though. Can't f*ckin wait either!

Economy and lack of "star" power on the team. Out side of Smith,Williams,Beason, and Stewart you ask a casual fan to name some of the players they couldn't. To bad the "Mountaineer formation" couldn't pull enough ASU fans to drive down to watch the game....I mean they could always donate the tickets to the poor college kid fund and let me go.

perfect example of people being overly sensetive, calling the original poster a dipshit because he has haha in the title. it is funny for the way jerry richardson treated the fans this offseason he deserves to not sell out any games.

Man, isn't it amazing how much the Huddle has changed in its feelings towards the owner? Just a couple of years ago, if you said the slightest negative thing about Jerry Richardson, you were slammed beyond belief by scores of Huddler white knights. Now the tide has finally turned against, not just the front office guys like Fox/Hurney, but even Richardson himself to the point where that whiteknightism is almost gone completely.

Speaking of App State fans, I wonder if the FO is thinking of announcing that Armanti will be active on Sunday just so they can sell those remaining tickets. Don't think it hasn't crossed their minds.

I think they can pay 30 cents on a dollar for each ticket and avoid the blackout

That was last year. The rule changed and the price is full price this year which is why the TV stations in Tampa already announced they wouldn't be buying them up like last year. It cost them too much now.

This is the year I was finally able to buy PSLs.

lol at me

[Anybodyhome]

1. PSL owners have purchased all but approximately 3000 seats per game- that's where the organization wants to keep it.

2. Those 3000 or so seats are the ones that go on sale to the public in July/August.

3. If the game is not sold out it is because those 3000 or so general public available tickets have not been sold since they went on sale weeks ago.

That being said, I still have 4 seats together for the 6 home games that were already paid for by the PSL owner. They have been purchased by the PSL owner, but they will be empty Sunday because he has normally sold these to a couple of long-time friends who will no longer attend and I have not been able to move them at all for face value.

So, it's not just the 900 that have not been sold, but it's also all the PSL already paid for seats that will also be empty come Sunday. When that happens it look horrible on TV because it's technically sold out even though only 45,000 went through the turnstiles. That's why the NFL uses ticket sales in figuring attendance, not actual butts in seats numbers.

But that would ruin our gameplay...
