Panthers Pull a Dick Move on Struggling Fans

The Carolina Panthers are revoking personal seat licenses from fans that did not purchase playoff tickets, the Charlotte Observer reports. Season-ticket holders are required to buy playoff tickets as part of the plan, but some PSL owners who received termination letters this week are still surprised.

"It's a lot of money for some people," Panthers PSL owner Mike Stewart, who had tickets to the Panthers' playoff game against Arizona but could not sell them, told the newspaper. "I don't agree with it, but I would hope the Panthers would have some consideration as regards to the economy. Some people are suffering right now and some people maybe didn't have the money."

The Panthers have not released the total number of PSL's lost but say that it is comparable to previous revokations. The dissapointed fans can regain their PSL's buy paying a reinstatement fee determined by the price of their tickets.
