2009-06-30 -- Panthers Fans Hire Drew Rosenhaus To Negotiate Ticket Pricing SUNRISE, Fla. – Rosenhaus Sports announced today that sports super agent Drew Rosenhaus has been hired by fans of the Florida Panthers to renegotiate season ticket pricing for the 2009-10 NHL season.

“As a longtime Panthers fan and a person who believes in giving sports fans the value and the atmosphere they deserve, I am absolutely thrilled to represent the Cats faithful at the bargaining table,” Rosenhaus said. “That said, this a unique situation for me to represent the fans as opposed to professional athletes. But as a passionate Cats follower, I’ve got my finger on the pulse of the BankAtlantic Center faithful.

“Also, if I can offer a word of advice for head coach Pete DeBoer, president Michael Yormark and the rest of the Panthers front office, ‘be prepared to go low on cost and high on value, and don’t get too comfortable because I’ll be knocking on your door in the next 48 hours.’

“We felt we needed the very best agent in professional sports to represent us in these negotiations,” said Florida Panthers advisory board member and season ticket holder Nat Levine. “We understand that negotiating season ticket prices may be a first in the industry, but there is simply no option we won’t explore to make sure every South Florida sports fan has the opportunity to experience the excitement of Florida Panthers hockey.”

Rosenhaus, who is one of the top player agents in the National Football League with well over 100 clients, is making his first foray into professional hockey by representing Panthers fans. He is the author of the book “A Shark Never Sleeps”, and was the inspiration for the character “Bob Sugar” in the movie “Jerry Maguire”, in which Rosenhaus also made a cameo.

Wow if this is successful this could send shock waves through some struggling NHL franchises to lower prices and add more entertainment value.

This could be a dangerous precedent for the NHL if successful and other major sports leagues.

Anyone ever hear of supply and demand?

If the prices are too high stay home. Like those empty $2,500 a game seats at the new Yankee Stadium.
