I don't know does anybody already asked this question, but one thing looks like very confusing for me.

It says:

We understand it will take some experimenting for teams to become accustomed to this new market, and so until the October 1 ticket price update, we will allow for ticket price changes to take immediate effect

Yesterday I set my new ticket prices, but they didn't change. It will be change next month:

(Current Price: $17) (Price Next Month $16)
(Current Price: $60) (Price Next Month $60)
(Current Price: $180) (Price Next Month $170)
(Current Price: $1400) (Price Next Month $1300)

I try to wait one daily update... but nothing changed.

Is this "price-changing" working, or...I didn't understand Season 10 changes? :)

How the seats are affected from the cap, or let say it so if we sell 20,100 ticket without the cap which 100 ticket are harder to sell?

Is there are key fpor the distribution? Or a VIP places ever close enough to the field, so that it cost bleachers?

Or is it a formula like that:

(visitors bleachers)/Total visitors * (visitors over the cap) = (Number of bleachers who are harder to sell)

Hey Forrest, can you get me a copy of all the formulas for the GE when you get done with CrazyEye's request?

no
that would give you an unfair advantage ;)

A request for moderation then:

The season ended early in the month, but thw ticket prices were already settled to setember as a whole, and it's not possible to change it, at least until october.

However, I assume there has been a considerable variaton regarding prices and attendance, especially in upper leagues, and one cannot risk to raise tickets without being sure the promotion will come; and now these teams that did succeed are stuck with ticket prices fair to lower divisions and excluded from the possibility to adjust to the new system.

I'll take myself as the example.

At season 9 I was in Brasil's div.II, and because of the cap that limits attendance in lower divisions, I would never sell out a 15k arena, so in order to expand it and getting things done in case of promotion, I had to get prices lower. But the end of august came, and the playoffs were there, and I have a stupid decision to make:

a. prices up; and in case of a defeat in the finals, I would get screwed since fans would get sh*tty angry with 2 consecutives running up (been there, know how attendance drops in the first games);

b. prices stay even, and in case of promotion I would stay a month with a lower income than I should be getting since prices COULD go up in a upper division (top league teams can sell out 14k arenas with max prices).

Well, I decided for B, and now things are even worse, since the staff annouced fans ARE WILLING to PAY MORE at upper leagues, even more than before.

All that, to end with a considerable, and really simple request.

How about a STARTING SEASON prices set-up?

Did you read the News post that clearly stated that for the month of September that the ticket price changes would take immediate effect?

Sorry, disconsider my post.

we need to implement this, we will today..

it a systematic question, with different ways of implemention ;)

And testing it out could get diffeicult with 3-4 games(especially with the biased survey), and expensiv.

I've changed my ticket prices but I saw no immediate effect. It still shows my old ticket prices.

It's being fixed.
