Panthers Charles Johnson had to buy his own ticket to Sunday’s game
Carolina Panthers defensive end Charles Johnson was forced to buy his own ticket to watch his teammates play the Tennessee Titans.
In one of the more amusing stories of the day, Carolina Panthers defensive end Charles Johnson was forced to buy his own ticket so he could watch his teammates after traveling all the way to Tennessee. Johnson has been on IR after he suffered a 4th quarter hamstring injury in the Panthers’ win against divisional rivals New Orleans Saints. Being placed on IR means he is ineligible to return until Week 12, but while out injured he hoped to support his team.
Unfortunately for Johnson, the Panthers forgot to leave him a ticket for the game, and after a mix up at the will-call box office, Johnson was forced to purchase his own ticket. Thankfully for the star defensive end, the Panthers have made a super start in their quest to stay unbeaten and move to 9-0.

On the opening drive of the game, Cam Newton and his offense waltzed down the field for an eight-play, 63-yard drive that ended in a Jonathan Stewart touchdown run. Although Johnson may be aggrieved to have bought his own ticket, he was likely pleased to see his team score early. The Panthers’ have hopes of being the No. 1 seed in the NFC this season, and every game will be vital. Let’s just hope Charles Johnson doesn’t have to buy his ticket for every contest, though I’m sure he can afford it.
