In real life, ticket prices are different for different games.


In real life:

1. Training doesn't occur only on Fridays.
2. Salaries don't necessarily change after each season.
3. There's no transfer market.
4. You can see actual players, not x's and o's.
5. Players get injured for a whole season, die, go into prison, etc.

This

is

not

real

life.

In seriousness, does anyone know why is that we are not allowed to change price for the playoff?

Note: if this was already discussed somewhere else, please help me with a link. Thanks.

I believe what it comes down to is we know everyone would jack up prices for the playoffs, it only makes sense. This way you have to make a more tactical decision on how you want to set your prices as its for the end of the season plus whatever playoff run you have.

What is the concern about teams increasing price for the playoff? I see it as a reward for those making the playoff.

I don't know why you asked that first question. Everyone pays the same prices for tickets in this game.

Fan reaction - you assume fans are so stupid that they don't understand there are different categories of games. Fortunately most fans understand this IRL so they go on supporting their clubs.

If everyone could swing their prices up or down and had filled arenas everyone would be making good choices so deserve to be rewarded.

The BB economy is for the BBs to figure out. If they knew people were filling their arenas and this was having an adverse effect they would react (we hope) appropriately.

I don't want to make any suggestion. This is a forum for giving opinions (I thought) so I am doing that.

All your arguments are rubbish.

If you told me instead we have a potential of 3 games a week and we cannot expect all users to faithfully log in after every game to adjust prices for the next I would understand that. But I still would not accept that we cannot raise prices for playoffs. Disgraceful.

There is no ticket change for playoffs because with that option the strongest teams will get even more income. So to make it more even you have a choise. Change the prices before and lose out on 3-4 home games or get more revenue from 1-4 playoff games. There could be an option to set one price for regular season and one price for playoffs, but with more users playing regular season than users that have a home game in playoffs, I think option to change ticket prices 3 times during a season is a lot better option.
you assume fans are so stupid that they don't understand there are different categories of games.
What exactly are you talking about here? Different categories, PL, Cup? We already see a change in attendance with different teams coming to town. Changing prices for every game is just stupid, where have you heard anything like this happens?

I've worked in English football (IRL job) and in my experience, yes ticket prices change per opposition, but the traditional English football supporter does not understand pricing outside of having 4 stands typically 4 prices. Compare that to a REAL life NBA or NFL arena where there can be as many as 30 different price breaks depending on various different things.

BB is a simulation that takes a great deal of computer programming. Pricing is part of the challenge. Just like trying to get 48+ mins for trainees. Yes it would be easier to be able to change prices daily, and be able to set how many minute you wanted each player to play but this is the fun part of the game. Figuring out how to MANAGE with the tools you have.

Enjoy the game, and post suggestions for pricing in the suggestions forum, not under help

Yeah, I suspect that was the reason. I 've been both bottom feeder and league leader ... so I can live with that. Thanks for clearing that up.
