I wrote more than once - changing seat's type will cost a fee (in addition to the difference of seat's type value).

where those seats are out of use for the duration of the work. This way you can balance some small cost saving vs. lost income from seats that cannot be used.

Well, that was what I've suggested basically...
I wrote that a fee will be needed to be payed for this change.

Okay, I did not see you mentioning that the seats could not be used while the conversion is made and that the upgrade would take the same time as building new seats. The key point is introducing some sort of a trade-off, so that the feature would have a game play effect. A new feature needs to add to the game play or to the fun. Failing that, all you get is clutter.
Let's continue and finish the definition of this feature;

Definition:
"A seat can be upgraded (or downgraded) upon paying the diffefrence between the two types, and an additional fee".
"One cannot can get money due to this difference".
"Changing type of a seat may take time, and will not be immediate".

Is this agreeable?

Do you know that there is a cap for two types of seats?

Add: "Tickets cannot be sold for any seats that are under upgrade until work is finished."

Then it basically makes sense as a feature. I am still indifferent about it, but it makes some sense nevertheless. The use case/tactical choice for this feature would then be to take a short-term hit to get a better mix of seats for slightly less money (a low budget preparation for some long-term plan). Downgrading would probably make no sense (apart perhaps for the hell of it?), but would anyway be possible. No harm in that. The upgrading feature could be useful for teams that are close to making the jump to a higher division and have too few of the more expensive seat types.

Building a luxury seat cost 1600$, bleachers cost 200$. You can convert one Luxury seat into 8 bleachers if you find the change worth it (including the fee).
For example, when you have 0 seats unseated for bleachers and the luxury seates are all empty.
Yes, you can change it twice a season, but you cannot update during that period (although you can add seats).

Summarizing - When you'll get out of the box you are keep thinking from and will learn to discuss (and to think) instead of attacking , you will be more productive.

Thank you for amusing me. That was really a good one.Poor Kukoc:-)

Basically the idea is to allow changing the mixture of seats to define a better mixture that will fit current ticket spread.
You will pay for that (the fees), but it will give the manager more balance with the tickets revenue.
Especially that the additional seats may not be parralel to the time that a team can change ticket's prices.

So whats the point of long term arena planning if you are to switch and change as you please?

Only way I can see this happening is to demolish the seats and rebuild from scratch. You can't simply change a seat that is built in the luxury box area and convert it to a bleacher sit.

Invite some supporters of your rival team to make whatever they want and you'll see !


Does that mean I don't have to pay for demolition costs? Since rival fans are happy to do it for free....

1) You are still bounded to the prices of tickets defined three times in a season.

2) You will pay a fee for converting between seat types.
This is in addition to the difference of prices between the two types that is needed to be part of the cost.
Meaning that if you convert 20 cheap sits into 20 expensive you will also pay the difference.
You cannot get money by performing the other conversion.

This adds to the complexity of the game.

3) Currently the planning (for those who are not in the first division with a full arena already built) is missing the fact that seats are added between those dates of setting ticket's price.
This will allow them to adjust the change.

Three times a season is hardly long-term planning.
