Think of the games in Vegas, Miami, NY etc. the clientele are more worried about the trip than the actual game. Theres a market for this, we just aren’t in it. 

Roaring Riot has  offered that service for years.

This is more like  the anti riot philosophy.

That's actually a great deal if you've got the money to spare.  A private jet is not cheap and with all the other perks you are probably only paying half of what you would have to pay if you set this up yourself.  That's even if you could. 

There's no way you're paying half the cost of doing it on your own, as it wouldn't be a profitable business.

They're not doing this out of the goodness of their heart to give fans a cool thing on the cheap, they're making money on it, so it can't cost more to do on your own outside of getting access to the players.

I’m going to start a competitor if anyone wants to partner with me.  

-UberX to the airport 

- I welcome you to to the airport and present you with the finest  of Panther polos and some custom cargo shorts 

- we going Spirit Air.  Whatever you heard, disregard.

- we taking another UberX to dinner near the stadium.  A unique experience at a local food truck 

- guess who is going to meet you for dinner? Panthers legend Haruki Nakamura

- Finish up the day at a hotel that has some stars 

Thinking I’ll just work off tips or possibly trade

50% margin is damn good business.

lol no the other way around

He’s saying if someone were to buy this package, they’re paying half of what it would cost them to do it on their own.

So I’m saying that can’t be the case, as there’s no way the person providing it can make money if it costs them twice the amount to put this on for them, they’re in it to make money, not give a fan experience on the cheap.

This isn’t a huge operation that has major discounts due to bulk private flights and 5 star hotels/restaraunts around the country to where they can do this at a cheaper price than it would cost to do on your own.

You’re paying more for the access to players and not having to work out the logistics on your own, not less, that’s crazy talk.

Demographics aside, why would you pay $10k to go to an away game if you're not even going to home games? That's doesn't make any sense.

I would absolutely not pay $10k. That said, there are more than a couple of stadiums that present a far superior game day experience than a Panthers home game.

Try to book a private jet just for yourself with shuttle service to and from the airport and during your stay with event tickets. That's round trip.  Then get back to me if it's less than 10k.

Haha.  I didn't realize Charlotte had cornered the market on limos and G6's.  My apologies.

They aren't talking one person from anywhere In the US on a private jet to an away game. Capped at 18 people aka 18 people on the jet

Yes, for a single person, but this isn't just selling tickets on the trip they put on, you buy the full trip and pay for however many people you're bringing with you up to 18 (I'm sure there's a minimum for 10-12 people too).  

So even if you get a group of 15 guys together to do it, you could do the trip for less than $150k but without the access to players.

Of course a group rate is cheaper. That's the point. If you wanted to do this for yourself it's much more expensive and you would have to include the meals and ticket to the game. So this is cheaper for you the individual.

But the services is not making a lot of money off of this. There's a lot of people that will have to get paid and more will have to volunteer initially.  I'm not sure if they will make any money in the long run but they might.

I would do it if I had the money because it sounds like it would be a blast. But unfortunately I do not have the excess funds to live like that.

You guys could always buy me a ticket and I will report back on my experience. I think you all should do that.

In terms of trying to book a private jet I wouldn't be surprised. One off is a lot different than regular bookings and if you can fill it up (which I'm sure they're banking on) it's a lot less per head

At the end of the day, I wish 'em luck. If they can find a market, good for them. I just hope they know what they're signing up for. Transitioning from being an everyman's fan club having some home bars scattered around the country and throwing some bashes is a helluva lot different game than trying to jump into the elite luxury experience. I honestly don't think you can pull off both, you gotta do one or the other. Neither group wants anything to do with the other. The former sounds fun. The latter... I think I'd rather slam my dick in a car door than hear some nepobaby whining about some poo that makes me want to throw him out the door of the private jet at 35k feet.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      There always has been collusion, as long as I have been a fan. It sure looks like they tweaked outcomes too. Good luck proving it. As much as I despise a lot of the ownership I'm still not sure what would happen if it was forced to change.

      I had started typing my post hours ago and didn’t finish it and just came back to finish it, posted it, then saw yours and saw we were pretty much saying the same thing - even the games that stick out to us most.  I don’t think a lot of people remember that SF playoff game, but I felt like I had just got mugged in broad daylight.  I remember them calling Mitchell for unnecessary roughness, and then I remember watching Boldin take a super late cheap shot, dead in front of the ref and then showing him watching the whole thing in replay…  the refs let them have a fuging field day and didn’t do jack poo, but if we so much as breathed the wrong way it was fuging 15 yards.  Each team playing under two completely different sets of rules.  poo hurt.  I was enraged.  I’ve never went back to watch either that game or SB50 and never will.  fuging robbery.

      I’ve said it a million times since, but it’s impossible to keep them from affecting the game.  In SB50, they literally took the game from us, and they did it early.  Cotchery’s no-catch?  The miraculous amount of times we converted for a first down only to have it suddenly called back make it a 3rd down and 15+ against the best defense in the league that specialized in rushing the passer and man coverage on the back end?  And you do that enough times, you kill the morale and confidence of the team you’re doing it against.  It’s telling the one team “you can do whatever with impunity” and the other “you can’t do whatever they’re allowed to do.”  It changes the aggression level.  It essentially neuters one team and allows the other to do whatever the fug they want.  Imagine you call the police for help and they get there and tell you to sit still while the other party beats the poo out of you and you can’t defend yourself.  That’s what the officials do.  There is no way to avoid them affecting the game.  And more often than not, it’s the most subjective calls they use to do so.  Even in SB50…  you saw the Broncos commit more egregious penalties than anything we did, and barely any of it was called.  Their OL was holding all fuging game and the refs did nothing.  We already had our work cut out for us against two future HOF edge rushers and the refs played to their advantage with that.  From what I remember, both Oher and Remmers were called for holding at various times and their hands were in the INSIDE of the defender.  It was garbage, but all by design. Also, if there is any video of it anywhere, go look at what the refs did against us back in 2013 against SF.  The fix was in there too.  They stepped in early and often and ensured we knew we were not allowed to play with the same aggression or intensity SF was.  It was disgusting as well. at this point, I hope Vince McMahon, errr, I mean Goodell just finally scripts us to win it, because this poo is not won via competition or off merit.
