Panthers freeze prices for existing season ticket holders
The Panthers are freezing prices for the 2009-10 season and offering more flexible payment options for existing season-ticket holders.
The team is sending out renewal packages to its roughly 9,500 season-seat holders. Fans who renew by Feb. 21 get extra benefits, including more vouchers good for concessions and the chance to attend renewal parties hosted by five players each. Those who renew by Feb. 5 can attend all four parties at BankAtlantic Center.
Fans can pay in full, in five monthly installments or in 12 monthly payments — a first for the team. The team is also offering four benefits packages to choose from, which include invitations to a cocktail reception with players, a kids' trading pin and holiday skating party, or entry into drawings for special items or experiences.
Team officials have not decided whether prices for new season-ticket holders or individual tickets will rise.
