Panthers Put Freeze on Ticket Prices

It’s only the end of March, but September seems just around the corner for many football fans, as the NFL world is already gearing up for the 2009 season. The Monday Night Football season opener has already been announced with the New England Patriots and the Buffalo Bills playing each other (with another game featuring the San Diego Chargers and Oakland raiders following,) and while this announcement is getting football fans across the nation geared up for the upcoming season, one thing stands in the way between fans and football: tickets to the big games.

Football tickets to games have been going up over the last several years across the nation, and so it has been with the Carolina Panthers, who have sold out all but two home games since Bank of America Stadium opened in Charlotte in 1996. While last year saw a five percent increase from ticket prices in 2007, the Panthers have recently announced that they will freeze ticket prices for the 2009 season, making tickets more affordable to their loyal fans. Single ticket prices will go on sale this summer and range from $51 to $90, giving Panthers fans a sigh of relief.
