Playoff Tickets

you got some great seats too...I'd love to take those off your hands

 

And this is coming from a fan of the "Love Boat" team? You better watch who you call the kettle black.

I don't exactly have that much cash lying around and I'm not Jerry Richardson with millions in my bank account. I'll somehow swing both Christmas and the playoff tix, but it's gonna be hard considering most of my cash reserves went to paying for gas that was $12/ gal.! That's what's killed us the most in my family was high gas prices.

 

Too bad we will not be playing any home games during the playoffs

 

I checked my online account. 4 seats for 2 games total $990. It says "date of invoice" is Nov 15. Why has nothing been received in the mail? Not everyone has online access like us. Has the league not yet given the go ahead?

The mail copies have arrived.

 

Got mine in mail today.

 

Just curious for those fortunate enough to have PSL's and are getting these bills for playoff tickets. What happens to your money if they didnt have home games or whatever, I assume the money is applied to next year's season tickets?

 

Yep, you're right. OR, you can request a refund (minus the handling fee).

 

You can either write them (the Panthers) for a refund by a certain date or you can have it automatically credited to next year's ticket invoice.

I got mine in the mail today, too.

I wrote him and said:

40% increase? I wish!
My normal $105 seats are $200 for game 1, up 90%.
For game 2 they are $250, up 139%
Ouch!

He replied:

"Wow, that's ridiculous. I'm sorry to hear that for you. But I'm glad you told me. I had to take the Panthers at their word for today's story. But if I can find a few more people (and I'm sure I'll be getting more e-mails similar to your's) that got the same kind of increase, I can go back to the Panthers and put them on the spot. Not that it will change the prices, but at least it will make them stop throwing out bull."


So if anybody has similar increases, let him know.
