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

Limit of 6 per household. Panthers org can't break their own rules.

If it is for charity then that is a great idea.  A lot of buzz around the team, and the money goes to a good cause.  Only problem I see is that fans of lower class households may not have enough money to attend something that was free to the fans in the past.  It gave those fans an opportunity to get to know their local team.  At the end of the day it is what it is though.

Low income households is a better way to put that, imo.

Lower class or lower income it is the same as there are classes.  I do get what you are saying though.

Why do we do these dumb alts every offseason? Come on, Huddle, do something original. The "idiot fan" shtick is dead.

and gas might be under $2 bucks by then, unless you buy the good shite.

Ours was just almost 179 now it's back to ALMOst two dollars

Anything else on this? Maybe Ticketmaster waived the charges? Otherwise they'll go from having too many people to having none.

I've never seen them do that. Probably what will happen is people will buy up the Panthers. Com ones and that's it.

It doesn't stop people from purchasing game tickets. Why would it stop them from this?

I'm not sure where the talk about Ticketmaster buying up half the tickets and buying some on Panthers.com. Here's the blurb from Panthers.com:

Seems like Panthers.com is just linking to Ticketmaster, which is the same as last year. Panthers.com isn't setup to sell game tickets, that's why they use Ticketmaster.

Got ya I thought they were selling some from there web portal. Well that sucks all around because no way to avoid the 20 bucks or more fee.

They should just send one to PSL folk, and the rest are for sale at the gate.

Yep, last year was nice with 0 fees at all. I'll be interested to see what fees they charge. I wonder if Ticketmaster will be nice since this is a charity event. I don't think of them as nice for fees and such, but I don't think there were any fees on last year's free tickets.

Ticketmaster added $6.50 in fees, plus tax, to the Packer's $10 charity ticket this year.
