Are the Panthers struggling to sell tickets?!?

Partly due to the lack of success and partly due to the extremely high cost of tickets, parking, etc. If you aren’t winning, no one is going to pay the price it takes to go. 

20 years ago during our SB run, tickets were much cheaper and the product on the field was better.

Buy a fishing license in Tennessee. The spam you get from them is out of control. I would've used a burner email had I realized it.

I learned that lesson when I had to register my business with the state using a brand new email address. Within a week I had 40-50 spam bots sending 2-300 emails a day.

Hate the falcons. 

 

Never had a bad experience at the butthole dome outside of losses and I've been 3 times now. They try hard to get the crowd into it and concessions are cheaper than a lot of places. 

Their local fans could do better. 

Atlanta is a terrible pro sports town. SEC is king there. The Braves have done well by staying competitive and successfully being marketed as the South's baseball team.

We suck. We've sucked for years. Fans are tired of sucking. It's pretty much that simple.

I mean, you're trying to entice fans to come see you with the lure of Adam Thielen? A guy his former team let walk because he's aging and lost a step? That says everything.

I think that's a big part of the pie here, but I also think cost of living, inflation, and all the other poo that has been shot to hell since the pandemic has made luxury experiences like attending a live NFL game much lower on the priority list for everyone.  Add to that our team experiencing its worst stretch of football ever that has lasted like 6 or 7 years now?  Yeah...  fug Tepper and them tickets.

Maybe people would be willing to pay to go watch crappy football in person if we had a crazy tailgating culture like the Bills, an amazing state of the art stadium like SoFi, or something like Allegiant in a destination city like Las Vegas.  With the current state of the team I can't blame people for thinking it's not worth the hassle.

Charlotte is a transplant city and the only way you're going to get a hyped home crowd is if you're winning a lot.  I haven't been to a game since 2018 but from what I've read here the stadium experience has just gotten worse every year.

They were calling like 3 times a day at one point. It was way more than just email.

If you're a musician and have bought anything from Sweetwater you can relate to this.

"Hey NFL Shield, it's your sales engineer Dave calling to see how those guitar picks you bought three years ago are working out for you"

If I want to pay to watch one of our local teams possibly play like crap for a few hours I can pay less and get better seats at a Hornets game.

If the Panthers want working class fans to pay to watch this product then hire someone with experience who actually knows how to oversee the assembling of a new front office and tell David Tepper and his wife to go count their money or do anything else other than act like they have any idea how to run a football team.

The stadium experience has been on a serious decline since around 2017, or at least that is when I really noticed it. Seems like the food quality keeps decreasing also, there used to be some really killer options like a giant prime rib sandwich I used to love.

The horrendous play, the ridiculous cost and a really long ride home to think about how long it has been since I thought anything would really improve going forward all make it not worth even considering. I just sale the tickets I can and wait to get out of the PSLs after next year because those sure are not selling either.
