I’m seeing a few people shit on STH for reselling their tickets at outrageous prices so I just wanted to give an example of what the selling page looks like for STH. Obviously our tickets are cheaper than that (for those in the upper level at least, they were $94 this round). But they’ve been doing this all season too. That bottom number is calculated in some way that involves demand I’m sure, but during the season, it fluctuates.
I had an extra ticket for the Toronto game, for example, and it wouldn’t let me list it for less than $60. When it wasn’t selling, I went back and they lowered that bottom number to $50. There’s no way of knowing if/when they lower that number. It’s extremely inconvenient for everyone involved.
Obviously you can discuss selling on other platforms, that’s fair criticism, but my point is that SeatGeek isn’t helping the issue. The prices of “including fees” and “excluding fees” also are decided by some metric and don’t always line up.
The Panthers also don’t help with their “pay as you play” model for STH. It forces you to ‘opt in’ to all 16 potential home games. It’s all or nothing so if you don’t know your availability with work or prior commitments, it forces you to make a decision in late March for games potentially going on in June.
I understand everyone’s frustrations, I just wanted to share some insight

I will gladly pay you $20 for each ticket my friend 🤝 kidding kidding, but thanks for sharing this! I had no idea
thats pretty wild. What about stubhub?
If you list it too low (even within their metric) they will raise the price and keep the difference as well. I have also have it work the other way where I was listed high and they dropped it and still paid me my list price.
Sestgeek is partnered with the team so you can’t go below what the ticket costs from team to a non-season ticket holder. Use stubhub or vivid.
