1. Let's say we're playing a team with a big fan base like the Packers or the Giants. Do you expect the stadium will be 95%+ Panthers fans like it should be or do you think PSL owners would choose to cash out yet again even when there's literally no bigger game that can be played in that stadium using those PSLs and we'd see a ton of Packers or Giants there?

 

And on a related note...

2. How much do you think tickets would be going for on Stubhub if you're not one of the lucky few that manage to get tickets through Ticketmaster in the 15 seconds they'll be available for?

Now that I'm done being a douche, I say if we're still undefeated ALL PSL owners retain their tickets or sell to Panthre fans.

Our crowds were legit back in 08, people seem to forget that we were undefeated at home in 2008 until................. Never mind. FACK! That just ruined my night

I've been lucky enough to have been to every Panther home playoff game except for Dallas '96. 

Our fans show up for playoff games. Especially a team this special with a possibly undefeated season and the Super Bowl on the line.

Even Dallas in '03, with all their bandwagon fans, were only maybe 10% of the crowd. 

Tickets will be expensive as fug. The divisional playoff game will probably run $200 or more for uppers, with the Championship game possibly $300-400 for the same seat. Just look at how expensive regular season games are in ticket exchange right now to get the idea.

Redskin, Packer, and everyone else were able to buy so many tickets this spring/summer before regular season started, when many PSL holders thought we would be mediocre again. Playoffs won't be like regular season with 20-30% opposing fans, probably less than 10%.

You can also get a last wave of tickets 15 minutes after they are sold out. A lot of tickets get kicked back after the first 15 minutes due to them being locked by the first person that tried to get them but didnt have the money/system error. Thats how I got mine in 2013 at face value against San Fran.

1) Some PSL owners view their season tickets first and foremost as an economic investment.  As some people pointed out, they will sell tickets before the season even starts, which accounts for the large number of opposing fans when we play teams with large fan bases.  As for the playoff games, there a lot of variables.  PSL owners are entitled to their tickets.  A think (and want to believe) a larger percentage of PSL owners would rather go to a playoff game than sell them, but it definitely varies from PSL owner to owner.  Last year, there was probably less than 5% Cardinals fans at the game, but the Cardinals fans knew their chances of winning were very low with a 3rd string QB.  There were a lot more Cardinals fans in 2008 with Warner (I'm guessing at least 20%).  There may have been close to 25% 49ers fans in 2013.  When PSL owners put their their tickets on the secondary market, there is no control over who gets them, other than who will pay the most money.  I cringe to think of what the opposing fans may consist of if we play the Giants or Packers in the divisional round, which is a very realistic possibility.

2) There is about a 25% markup on Divisional Round Games and roughly a 100% markup for the NFCCG if we were to host it.  This is from the Panthers/NFL before any markup from the secondary market.  So yeah, expensive as fug.  I'd bank on paying minimum $100-120 for the divisional game and over $200 for the NFCCG (and it could be way more than if you want good seats).  

**Side note, I have my PSL tickets, but just like the person above, I was able to get a 2nd set last year by continuing to try well after they said they were sold out b/c some of the tickets were kicked back by the people trying to hold them**

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
