Think Robins need a price increase. Our average crowd last year was less than 500 short of capacity and our rival teams are charging around $4-6 more than us

My owner is getting senile. He wanted me to increase attendance to a number higher than my ballpark holds.

Any advice on what my ticket price should be? Default going into the year was $6.50. Haven't changed it yet but that seems very low. I also don't want to change it drastically to have attendance plummet. Need a nice balance for a meh team with good interest.

I was down to $7.50 in Tucson. Sitting at $10 now, thinking I should have gone for more like $20. What's your fan interest like? If it is high enough you can probably raise prices, but if it's middling, then I'd leave it.

It's at 100 right now, which I guess was randomized when he made the teams. I know that should help me with prices but we are drawing 9000 less this season than whatever numbers were used as last season for our team. So I'm afraid raising them to much will hurt attendance.

So do you think raising mine to like $10 would hurt?

I see I can change it myself, but will it save? Or do I have to get Matt to change it?

I think you are only allowed to change them during the offseason.

Well when I asked him, he said it can be changed using the commissioner ping. But the game allows you to edit it yourself. Just not sure if it'll save or not.

Ok. The game won't let you after the season starts. You are correct, Recte can use his force powers and change it.

Yes you can. This was changed in 17. I can edit my ticket price right now in game (unless it won't 'stick' with the export or something).

Yeah, you can. Like he said above though, not sure if that part of the export will hold. But yes, 17 changed that aspect of the game. I change my prices in my other league incrementally depending on team performance.
