Buying a ticket at the stadium

[ladypanther]

I do not have a ticket. Would like to come to the tailgate and then get a ticket. What should I expect? Who has done this? What is the best seat you have gotten? What should I expect to pay?

(I would love to be a PSL owner but it has not worked out for me.)

You will probably pay somewhere between 25-35% below the face value I think. If the Panthers lose this one, the next home game you could get one for next to nothing.

Wait till 12:55 and you will get 50% or more below face for this game.

Agree, I always wait until right before gametime and scalpers are looking to unload.

Tip: Ask someone who is walking in if you can see their ticket before you buy anything, so you know what a legit ticket for the game looks like.

I've always wanted to go down there and get a ticket from a scalper, but my luck would be I would get a fake one. Are there really a lot of people out there selling fake Panther tickets?

I think you will be fine considering there are so many tickets left to be sold.

Darin Gantt seems to think differently.

You shouldn't have a problem. Look for the guys with the I need tickets signs. Never understood that. How come ur selling them but your sign says you need them?

They buy and sell and trade tix. If you have, say, two lowers, you can go up to them and trade for 4 upper level tix. Or vicey versey.

I think it was to throw of police in the beginning but now its so common place its kinda dumb

[Jbro]

Because they offer you $35 for a ticket then sell them for $50.

Thats the only way I will buy a ticket anymore. I suggest having a map of the stadium in hand so they cant BS about where it is.

Best advice I have for avoiding a counterfeit ticket is to buy your ticket close to the stadium. If scalpers are within sight of the gates, the usually won't risk selling fake tix. Also, print out a seating guide to B of A stadium so you can see where those seats are because trust me, those guys will LIE to you all day long. Also, make sure you look at the seat numbers so you know all the seats are together.

First of all because they will try to buy tickets for really low from average Joes who aren't really looking to score a profit and then try to sell them for a higher price, and secondly because I'm pretty sure its technically illegal to have a scalping setup. So they can't just put on their sign "Buy tickets here" because then the police would probably be forced to question them. Its sort of one of those assumed things....the police know its going to happen just don't be broadcasting it. Finally, at this point its just a group mentality thing. Everyone does it so if you want to be recognized as selling tickets you do whatever everyone else does. I too wondered the same thing and that's what a good buddy of mine told me.

Furthermore, when buying a ticket from a scalper always look around a little bit. Sometimes you will find average people who just have extra tickets. And great idea by Catman to make sure you aren't getting a fraudulent ticket. Some people are just evil.

Our tailgate crew usually has anywhere from 2-10 extras every week. We usually don't have to walk around and hustle them since our lot is so close to the stadium we have people coming to us. We've been tailgating in the same spot for 16 seasons now and people know where we are.

I might suggest hitting up a couple larger tailgate groups to see if they might have anything.

Personally, we're heading to Charlotte Sunday morning with at least 6 (2 club and 4 uppers) that I know of right now. We'll see if anyone in the group who brought friends needs them first and sell the remainders...

Done it numerous times, never got a fake, always got heavy discounts unless it was a big game. I def. would recommend bringing a printed seating chart like many others have mentioned.
