Team finances question
I started my association in 1980, currently I am in 2002. As the years have gone by and salaries keep going up, how do you determine what is the correct ticket prices in order to make a profit and fill the seats. My budget is always in the bottom of the league, so in order to keep below cap, after each season when players ask for top dollar, I end up always having to trade away most of my high contracts and go younger. In the last year or two thing have gotten out of control. My attendance has dropped off the charts and my budget continues to drop and because I have to trade away large contracts, my fan intrest has dropped badly, its at a horrible level of 22. Is there any advice or insight anyone as regarding this? Any help is appreciated.
