raise the price a bit.. it'll jump back up.

you probably won a bunch in the regular season? if so, i'd wager you can find a ticket price slightly higher that cuases teh attendance to jump, but it does go back down as it is supposed to, so don't increase too much or may tkae a little trial and error.

if it hasn't changed, you can speed this learning process up by 'starting' a game, but cancel before you get past the first splash screen. you cna see attendance in teh corner when they showlineups or whatever other info is on that screen. you haven't actualy entered the game yet. attendance numbers will update if you change inputs, like ticket price.

and if that doesn't work, try reducing the ticket price.

it maay jump back up after a series win. whatever you observe, expect it to be consistent in future... successive years of winning WS is a different context than the first one.

another good trick is overpricing season tickets significantly.. especially if you are able to consistently increase ticket price throughout the season normally due to extreme success. price season tickets where you expect to be in sept-oct games. it won't hurt attendance. i shot for about 1/3rd season ticket sales of attendance. need some calculus to determine peak, but close enough through trial and error. ymmv with different regular season success.

even when you have a long winning streak is relevant. a 20 game win streak in may helps you raise ticket prices more throughout season than a 20win streak in august.

another good thing to go by -- opening day you can boost ticket price. this is usually at or near what you can boost it too if you have an extremely successful regular season.. by august or late season you'll be able to price game tickets at or near this opening day price. always try to push higher, of course. can use that trick above to learn fast or over time you can learn by results just the same. in the end it makes no difference once you learn it.
