PSL/Season Tickets question

[SCP]

Well, that's all I got. You win.

[toldozer]

YES!!!!!!!!!!

Only thing i can think of would be selling the psl rights after a super bowl win.

1) Perks - not really. I think there is a day you can visit practice and you get first dibs at some concert tickets. Main perk for me is having a seat to the primo games and the playoffs which will happen this year. My goal for this franchise is a home playoff game.

 

2) There is a financing plan for the PSLs themselves either 18 or 48 months. I am pretty sure there is something like a 3 installment plan for the tickets themselves.

 

3) You are better off getiing PSLs off the secondary market. Don't buy from the panthers as you can get a much better deal from a current PSL owner. 

 

4) Depends on what you want. It stings a little being on the hook for meaningless rain games in December. And you get to pay full price for 2 preseason games. But knowing you have good seats for you and your kid for the important games(or whatever) is a luxury.

1.  Perks.....biggest one is that you get the playoff tickets for your seats.

 

2.  Financing...the 18-48 month financing is the financing for the purchase from the team.  The best option for the tickets each year is a 5 month payment plan with no interest (March-July payments).

 

Absolutely do NOT buy the PSL from the team.  Buy secondary....you can get a better price and better selection of seating options.

 

Preseason full price sucks.

[Panthers_Lover]

PSL owners can pay for their season tickets over six payments.

 

PSLs also are inheritable ... you can leave them to your children or someone else, if you want.

As a former charter PSL owner from 1995-2012, all I can say is why consider PSL's? 

 

The only reason to purchase PSLs is to sit in the same seat around most of the same people for each game. Otherwise, why bother? One can scalp a ticket to any game on Sunday mornings anywhere around the stadium. Unless you're that picky, particular and OCD that you need to sit in the same seat week after week, there's no need to spend that kind of cash.

 

There has not been a single game over the past 10 years that a ticket could not be had on the street outside the stadium for a fraction of the face-value price.  

 

Instead of purchasing the entire PSL and you want to have the luxury of having the same seat every single game, why not simply buy the season's worth of tickets from a PSL owner? There are plenty of those to be had as well...just read the classifieds in the Charlotte Observer or StubHub.

with ticketexchange, as a psl owner, it's also real easy to sell tickets semi automagically with no limits.

this thread must be good luck...I just sold a pair of preseason tickets at $25 over face value...$25 doesn't sound like much, but in the past, pre season tickets were usually given away or sold for pennies on the dollar.

Many PSL holders, long time ones, after the Fox debacle and the uneven showing o Rivera, have started selling their tickets over the past 3 years...they hold no hope that this team will win a close game...and that's really sad...even ones that sat through the Seiert/Wienke debacle finally lost it...that Fox/Clausen business did them in...and Rivera well, meh.

 

Losing season(s) buyers market.  Winning seasons(s) sellers market. 

 

It is very expensive.  This may be my last year for many reasons.  Its a long drive from Raleigh to watch losing in person in Charlotte year after year after year.

 

Yeah the two seats to my right are given away to coworkers every game pretty much. I met the owner only one time in the last three years. I offered to buy his PSLs. he used to come to every game.

 

And there is a single next to me that is 1/3 empty, 1/3 given to friend and 1/3 scalped. I have sent messages to the owner through freinds to sell me the PSL. This guy lives in VA and used to come all the time. he has a bunch of PSLs scattered in the West Endzone. No idea why you buy a single. 

 

These guys are tired of the Panthers yet don't want to part with the PSLs quite yet. A few more losing seasons and people like this will be dumping their interests I would assume.

I don't want to dump mine but it is such a financial investment to watch a team over the past few years that didn't even have a chance and weren't even entertaining.

 

$4200 a year for 2 seats, plus extra if they make the playoffs, plus, living in Raleigh a hotel room for 4pm or night games, gas, etc, adds up.

 

I'd love this team from the start; but, I cannot do anymore 42-10 blowouts at home, not for a 3 hr drive back home afterwards, and in games that matter, the team has made a habit of not winning them

since that god awful playoff loss to the Cardinals.

 

BTW, those two tickets cost me $650...you know. to watch 6 interceptions thrown in the first half.

 

I'm trying to be optimistic that better defense, a new GM, and a more controlled Newton changes things.  We'll see. 

 

People who post on here sometimes, as they sit in the comfort of their living rooms, do not understand how much time and money it takes to follow a team like this.  It is my choice and I am by no means rich, few around me are either.

[toldozer]

Those sound like club seats, dumbest psl investment you could have made. You cant resell tickets at 210.00 bucks a pop to most games. You can follow the team smartly and go to the games for much less then you have choosen to do. I know how much money it costs me to go to the games and it damn sure ain't 4,200 bucks. Also I got paid to go to that playoff game lol. You can work the panthers ticket system or you can let it work you.
