Ticket Prices

Due to the onfield success enjoyed by the Panthers in recent years, ticket prices have gradually increased in price. While a commitment to Bank of America Stadium is a great first step in the relationship between fan and owner, a price freeze on all tickets for at least two seasons would go farther.

The freeze would promote a sense of consideration for fans and coupled with a renewed commitment to the city could even boost PSL sales of the final seats still available for purchase. Fans appreciate knowing that their teams take them into consideration as Richardson famously said, “The fan is the most valuable member of our team.”

A commitment to leaving ticket prices at their current level for a few seasons or longer would be an intriguing way to introduce the new ownership to their supporters.
