My understanding is PSLs have been really hard to sell

They are basically dookie flavored lollipops at this point. They exist but it's really hard to get rid of them. I wonder if you could even sell them at almost free prices at this point. Bad team, an owner publicly campaigning for a new stadium and Rona fugging up everything is a kiss of death for any value from PSLs. The last window for a possible sale probably came from the seat taking earlier this offseason.

You’re better off just buying individual games on one of the resale websites. A guy I know had all the major sports tickets here in Boston (Pats, Celtics, Bruins and Red Sox) for business and was telling me about how he calculated out that he could’ve bought the same number of tickets in the same sections for every single game for like 2/3 the total price he was paying for the season tickets if he just bought them individually resale. Bruins and Celtics were especially a rip-off because a lot of the money he was paying was for “membership” not the tickets themselves so not only were tickets often available for less than face value resale (and with successful teams....) but he was paying a premium on top of that pretty much just to ensure he got the same seats every game.... I couldn’t believe it especially with the insane fees that the resale websites charge. He wound up only keeping the Pats tickets since it’s so hard to get season tickets for them (though I anticipate that’ll change soon when they suck again).

That’s why I’ve never bought season tickets. I’ve never had the availability to attend enough games to justify the cost, but moreover, I’d rather pay a premium and just ball out at a few every year.

Yep, at this point, they're pretty worthless, except for the cool sticker you get every year, I guess.  I'm lucky in that I inherited mine, but when Tepper builds a new stadium, I won't be lining up to buy more.  At this point, I'm good going to 1 or 2 games a year.

    • Trust me, the ticket investment in the Canes has already paid for itself with the amount of fun we have and the experiences we've enjoyed with the organization. From my recognition as a BCBS Hero of the Game during the 2019 playoffs, riding the zambonis, taking our dogs on the ice during the Christmas holiday photo op in 2022, and the fact the team wins. Compare that to having Panther PSLs for 17 years, which cost a helluva lot more than Canes tickets and there's little doubt as to which is the better bang for your buck.
    • Looking back Matt Moore and Kyle Allen are 2 QBS that showed way more than B Young I still believe given the right opportunity both of them could have been middle of the pack or above average nfl starting qbs. The matt moore vs brett favre game still a great memory. 
    • I can accept ticket price increases when that money is being spent to make the team and facilities better, unlike what Tepper has done in Charlotte.  Dundon has a ton of respect from me. Also, you said a mouthful with that last sentence....Donny and the Committee have a lot of work to do.  Priorities IMHO is getting Guentzel and Skjei re-signed.  I love Pesce, but Skjei doesn't get hurt as much and Pesce doesn't have the offensive upside.  Guentzel is a no brainer.  I also strongly believe we should keep Necas, he is too fast, skilled, and dangerous to just let go.  He has had some "WTF" moments but he is relatively still young.  One other hail mary I'd like to throw out there is getting KK off the books for something of some value, but it's most likely a pipe dream.
