The NFL needs to wake up. They make their money in TV and the revenue from ticket sales is pocket change. More and more fans are opting to watch games on TV and I hope the NFL starts lowering ticket prices to get fans back to the stadiums.

Sports tickets is a very different animal. Generally speaking when you consume a product that costs significant money you can research it and get some level of guarantee it will meet expectations. Most people would be glad to pay the increase if they are guaranteed marquee players or team success.

 

Jerry Jones built his stadium with Bill Parcells leading the Cowboys to the playoffs and once ground was broken and funding secured he jettisoned Parcells for Wade Phillips and Jason Garrett.

 

A couple years ago I paid face for a chance to see my Panthers vs. the Saints. My expectation was a competitive game in week 17. Instead I got Mark Brunell vs. Matt Moore. In the Panthers defense I am one of the privileged few to see Dwayne Jarret score a Touchdown in the NFL live.

 

We all know the risks when we purchase an NFL ticket. I am not trying to argue the system is wrong and needs to change. My point is that our happiness with our purchase is determined by the outcome of the event. In the history of the Panthers we have been burned often and rewarded scarcely.

I think the hassle getting in the stadium due to security could be one of the single biggest deterrent to people deciding to attend or not.

 

That and being surrounded by drunk white trash is something I take in to consideration.  It's not the cost for me as much as the cost while dealing with those things.

My tickets didn't go up as much as I thought.  The blog said that the $109 face tickets (these are the A section tickets) were going up $21, but when I got the invoice - they subdivided the A sections into A1 and A2 and I have A2 seats so mine went up $11 each before fees and taxes.  After fees and taxes, the increase was a tad under $20.  I remember when we first got the team, face on my tickets was between $50 and $60 - I can't remember exactly what it was.  And that was high campared to other tickets (that weren't clubs).

      Panthers HC Dave Canales hints at adding more weapons for QB Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner.

      2025 Draft Re-Grades (Or, One Idiot Doubles Down)

      By Raskle · Posted

      How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.

      Who was the better HC - Rivera or McDermott?

      By Basbear · Posted

      I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
