The letters say the Panthers must receive the reinstatement payment by the close of business on Friday. Otherwise, the team would permanently cancel the PSL account, and owners would lose the money they paid for them – in some cases thousands of dollars.

I do not own a PSL, i do not have a dog in the fight

if it is in the agreement then they are well within their rights

Still, after that game they should be paying the people who actually did go to see that steaming dumb, not penalizing the ones who didn't...

Quote from the article....Some PSL owners say they couldn't afford tickets this year because of the economy. Others say they simply forgot.

How the hell can you FORGET to purchase your playoff tickets? You deserve to lose your PSL. For those that said they tried to sell them but couldn't.....people sell tickets on the street all day long. And for those having financial problems...I feel for ya. But they do offer you a way out with a reinstatement fee.

That same guy who said “I don't agree with it, but I would hope the Panthers would have some consideration as regards to the economy. Some people are suffering right now and some people maybe didn't have the money,” said earlier in the article that he bought his playoff tickets and tried selling them, but had no luck.

I can't help but wonder why he had no luck. He was probably one of the ones trying to sell at a ridiculous price. So, he's hoping the PANTHERS to have some consideration in regards to the economy, yet he was trying to rip someone off. It's only speculation on my part, and it very well may be false. But to me, that seems the most likely scenario.

I was at a Christmas luncheon with a Spartanburg businessman who told me he and his partners had decided not to purchase their playoff tickets. "Nobody wanted to go, and we wanted to save the money." I told him that he would be in danger of losing his PSLs, and he acted shocked ... like it was the first time he'd ever heard of that. Then, he acknowledged that someone else "managed" the PSL account for the group ... I told him he needed to get with that person immediately. It already was past the due date to pay for them. I wonder whether they've gotten the letter.

Sorry no remorse for them. It is known in the contract that you are required to buy them. The Panthers did us a favor by doing the Pay as they win deal.

Every time we get a playoff ticket invoice, it reminds us that in our PSL contract we are required to buy playoff tickets or forfeit our PSL.

Prolly should remind these people that if they don't buy their season tickets for next year they will forfeit their PSL as well. We get reminded of that in our ticket invoice letter every year as well. Yes, I know, its shocking.

      Then we had some impressive coaches to finish 8th from worst plus all of our injuries.  Titans and Raiders were pretty bad as well.

      Agents have been out-negotiating GMs for years. That's why they had to implement the rookie wage scale. Top drafted rookies were basically starting to walk into the NFL as some of the highest paid guys in the league. Take it up in the next CBA. In the meantime, it is what it is. Agents hold the upper hand in these rookie negotiations and they know it. The teams already have a significant unrecoverable investment spent on these draftees in the value of the pick that they spent. Given the rookie wage scale there's not much to negotiate other than guarantees and offset language and once again the agents are kicking the GMs' asses again.

      Except it's not about the money, it's precedent and teams not wanting to go down that path.  Once you guarantee all the 2nd rounders, then the 3rd rounders will want it, and so on.  If they keep viewing it as say, "well it's only X amount of money" then it's a slippery slope that doesn't end. Then you get Free Agents saying, "well if you're fully guaranteeing the contract of an unproven 57th pick of the draft, you clearly should be fully guaranteeing mine as your big FA signing this offseason" The NFL doesn't work with fully guaranteed contracts under it's current cap model.  If you want to give them out to the true elite of the elite players at impact positions like QB and Edge, then so be it, but there needs to be a line in the sand or it will get real messy.
