Florida Panthers Limit Ticket Sales to US Residents

New Policy Sparks Controversy

Exclusive Pre-Sale for Local Fans Only

The Florida Panthers are making headlines with their controversial new policy: refusing to sell tickets to non-US residents. The decision has sparked outrage among fans and ticket brokers alike, who argue that it is discriminatory and anti-competitive.

The Panthers claim that the policy is necessary to ensure that local fans have the best chance of securing tickets for home playoff games. However, critics argue that the team is simply trying to maximize profits by targeting high-paying customers.

The policy has also raised concerns about the legality of denying tickets to non-US residents. Some experts believe that the policy could violate antitrust laws or the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The Panthers are not the first team to implement a similar policy. The Boston Bruins and New York Rangers have also limited ticket sales to US residents in recent years. However, the Panthers' policy is more restrictive, as it applies to all home playoff games, not just those in the first round.

The controversy is sure to continue as the Panthers prepare for their playoff run. It remains to be seen whether the team will reconsider its policy or if it will face legal challenges.
