That averages to $114 which makes the range for the relative prices range from .61 to 1.83 (i.e. the Dodgers ticket prices were 1.83 times higher than the league average).

What is the average ticket price in your league (in the settings)? I looked through the posts and couldn't find that information.

Based on Matt's response, it seems it was determined that there was an exploit/cheese of the finances which they have closed up. While unfortunate for those that have been able to take advantage of it I don't think you can expect OOTP to choose not to improve finances because online leagues have members exposing the cracks.

I DO think these type of changes need to be communicated much better so that everyone can choose how to adjust to the new parameters up front.

Whatever the current version formula is, it doesn't reflect the real life reality on ticket prices. The information you provided is similar to what I've seen. It appears OOTP wants there do be a max amount around the average somewhere between the $10-$15 range.



I will caveat the next bit of info with that there is one team in my league that has kept their ticket price at $80 per ticket and their attendance has dropped significantly. In my current league and the previous version before we switched to OOTP 24, my ticket price was $75.19. The average in the league was $40.66. In 2068 my avg ticket price dropped to $61.02 and the league average dropped to $39.69. In 2069, my avg ticket price dropped to $56.94 and the league average dropped to $39.34. In 2070, my ticket price dropped to $49 and the league average dropped to $38.65. I have maintained around 3,000,000 fans at my park during this same period.
