Carolina Panthers Raise Ticket Prices, Plan Stadium Overhaul

0:00On March 10th, the Carolina Panthers are hiking their season ticket prices by 12% for the 2026 season. That's the overall blended average across all stadium sections, and the team sent out invoices to permanent seat license owners on Tuesday. Those PSL holders have until May 1st to renew. This comes after smaller increases of 6% last year and 4% the year before. The but makes sense following a strong season where the Panthers won the NFC South and hosted a playoff game for the first time in 10 years. Some seats see smaller jumps like the cheapest ones rising just $8 per game from $510 to $590. Fans might not be too shocked, especially with the team drawing huge crowds. 72,417 tickets per home game last year, fifth best in the league. It's in line with the NFL too, as 75% of teams are raising prices and the Panthers will rank 23rd in average, non-premium ticket costs.

1:00Looking ahead, Charlotte's Bank of America Stadium faces a major overhaul, with over $1 billion in renovations starting fan-facing work by 2027. The city chipped in 650 million, locking in the Panthers and Charlotte FC for up to 20 years. PSL owners get perks like exclusive events, plus a new 7-month interest-free payment plan if they sign up by April 1st. Some schedules look stacked with nine regular season games, and one pre-season tilt against teams like the Bears, Lions, Seahawks, Ravens, and Broncos. So excitement should keep renewals rolling as the upgrades take shape.
