All I've heard is that Season Seat Owners will get first priority and then the general public, but no other details have really surfaced.
In 2001, it was literally first-come, first-serve and you could sit wherever you wanted. I'd imagine here, they'd mail everyone who filled out the form assigned seats, but it would be nice to know what to expect.

If you're on twitter, you might want to send Cifu a message explaining your situation. I'd be surprised if he didn't try to help you out

I'm glad you asked this OP! Good timing. It just occurred to me today that I will be in Orlando the week leading up to draft weekend and in my quest to hit up all 30 NHL stadiums, I can use this opportunity to scratch Sunrise off the list.
I'm not on twitter, but who is this "Cifu" you are referring to?

He's one of our owners. He's been a big help to a few people on social media who were travelling to games.

Just in case you don't know (I've had this happen before with out of towners) Orlando to Sunrise is a good 3 hour drive.

Yup, I've done the drive from Orlando to Miami before so I already had an idea. I did the drive from San Jose down to LA/Anaheim earlier this year so it'll be a considerably short trip by comparison

tried reaching out to Doug Cifu on Twitter with no luck.
If anyone else can help out I would really appreciate it. I wouldn't want to leave me getting tickets up to chance.

I spoke to my rep about a week ago regarding getting extra tickets. I was told that they were waiting to hear from the NHL about the teams allotment of tickets. It sounded to me like they still don't know exactly what is going on.

Yah, it sure seems that way.
Like I said, when I went to the draft here in Toronto (granted it was back in 2002), I was able to just call the ACC's box office and request tickets free of charge.
Free of charge isn't a big deal to, I'm cool with paying, but I just want to lock in those tickets before my friends and I start booking flights/hotels.
If there are ANY season seat holders who are willing to part with their tickets or have extras somehow I would be FOREVER grateful.

Where is this form that I have to request? I don't see it on the Panthers web site.

When will we know if we've been chosen to receive the tickets and how many are they giving out? If we aren't chosen, is there any way to get them on ebay or stubhub?

Yah this is pretty bush league by the team. I am trying to lock in 4 tickets for this draft and am basically at their mercy at this point.
Anyone have a Panthers PR team I can e-mail or something?

Welp, I filled out that form a while back... gonna go ahead and do that again. I wish they would release some information on this.

It's confusing to me, too. I'm hoping to go, though I'm wondering how much it's worth going or not? I didn't get to go in 2001. Is it fun, boring, etc? I watch it on TV of course each year and it's interesting to an extent. I feel that only the first night for round 1 would be worth going to.
I talked to someone from the organization. He said season seat owners should get 2 per seat, but they are in limbo right now since the NHL won't give them any info on tickets.

Wow that's really annoying. Why is it so hard to get seat information?
And correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't found much about this, but the Friday night 1st round goes from like 7pm to 10pm right?
Would anyone say that the 2nd day is worth going to for the other rounds? I'll be honest, I probably won't know much about who we even wind up drafting but the 1st round is always the best, with the atmosphere and possibility of trades, especially in our arena.

The first round has been scheduled that way for the last few years so I assume it will stay that way.
The second round and on on Saturday isn't really worth it unless you are a HUGE fan of prospects. All selections are done from the team's table and there are no "extravagant" presentations on the stage or anything so it's entirely up to you but I am a huge hockey fan and will still not be attending Saturday and hope to get to Friday at least!

Yup, got mine today. Also, the email mentioned a pre-draft party the day before the draft. No details on that though.
