Has BB ever stated a reason for why it takes so long to change ticket prices? I forgot to adjust my prices when I knew I was moving down a league and now attendance is killing me. I changed the prices at start of season, but it won't take effect until Jan. 3. I assume they're thinking that the real world would have to print new tickets etc., but for a season than only last 3 months, it seems like the wait time is very excessive. The current wait time is about 1/3 of the season.

Pretty sure in the real world Ticket Prices change just once a year (if they change at all) and that's during the off-season. In BB with all the moving parts (such as winning and losing road games, promotion bonus etc) BB allows us to adjust our prices up to 3 times a season in order to adjust to how the game is going to punish or reward our attendance as the season progresses.

Thank you for the feedback, but I was more interested in the logic behind the delay in allowing pricing to change. If they set a rule that ticket prices couldn't be changed during the season, I would kick myself for not thinking ahead. As it is, I'm kicking myself, but also complaining, lol.

So you would rather have ticket prices only change once a season rather than 3x?

I guess I'm not making myself clear. Sorry. I don't care how often they allow price changes, I just wonder why they make you wait 1/3 of the season for a price change to be effective.

I didn't even know they allowed 3 price changes per season. But now that it's been brought up, what's the value of allowing 3 changes when it takes 1/3 of the season to be effective. By the time the 3d change went into effect, the season would be over. It's more logical, if you're going to have 3 changes per season, to make the changes effective rather quickly. Then the change can have some value during the season.

Just spent a good while trying to find a suggestion form with no success. I like this game, but it's not important enough to bother with pursuing this any further. Thanks to those with helpful input.
