I just want to know when they are going to go on sale so I can spend my $5 dollars.

So I've never been to a Fan Fest before and I'm planning on going this year regardless of an admission fee, what do I need to know about going? Also going to training camp for the first time, any tips (i have no kids)? didn't want to make a new thread, feel like the negativity in here could balance some responses ;)

If giving $5 to charity to watch your favorite football team is a big deal and makes you angry, go home look in the mirror and re-evaluate your life.

If everyone promises not to go they can make it walk up again.

Welp! There it is folks.

 

Admission will be $5 for a reserved ticket and all proceeds from Fan Fest will benefit Carolina Panthers Charities and its ongoing mission to serve the needs of communities across the Carolinas.

The Carolina Panthers said, "due to overwhelming demand and general precautions for fan safety, all patrons must have a ticket to attend the event."

Tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, beginning Saturday, July 22 at 10 a.m., through Ticketmaster.com which can be accessed by clicking “Fan Fest Tickets” in Hot Topics on the homepage of Panthers.com or by choosing “Fan Fest” in the Tickets dropdown menu. Purchasers will have the option to have tickets mailed, sent to their mobile device, or printed at home immediately. Tickets are limited to six (6) per household.

So it's 5 dollars plus the 20 dollar ticket Master charges. So for a family of 4 it's a hundred bucks. I get charity and all but find some way to charge without ticket master raping the fans in fees.

It's pretty boring anyway. Not going doesn't have to be some big dramatic travesty.

Not about being cheap. It's just some people can't afford that. You've got family's in the charlotte area, who don't get an opportunity to go to a game, let alone training camp in Spartanburg, who use Fan Fest as a way of either bringing their fanatic kids or themselves to a Panthers event where they'll see the players. $5 might not be steep to you or I, but to some it's a steep price. And to the individual who mentioned concessions; I can't tell you how many times growing up my mom would tell us not to ask for any concessions when we'd take a rare outing to the movies as a kid. Same applies at fan fest. You can take your kids there, and not buy anything from the concession stand.

At the end of the day, I understand it, but $5 is not doable for everybody; especially when you start factoring in larger families. I'm speaking for those in the charlotte area.

It's not charity anymore, if TicketMaster charges anything. And if anybody charges you to give to charity, that's illegal.

Looks like ticket master is buying half so they will charge a processing fee of 20 bucks

Well it's like I said. When you go to ticket master it becomes a 100 bucks for a family of four. It's not like times are great now either but like everything else they always think you have a extra 20 to spare.
