Ticket price changes

Félicette · 03-09-2025, 02:36 PM

Hi,

I think some teams are maybe increasing their ticket prices a bit too much. I'm currently playing in 2035 in Switzerland and noticed in the history tab that every team has a huge decrease in attendance over 10 years, losing between 50% and 60% of people attending games on average compared to the early game. Even top teams with fanatic loyalty and on ice success are struggling to keep fans.

As far as I can tell the others euro leagues are inot mpacted as much as the National League, with some teams even having increased attendance over the years, but every swiss teams suffered a huge loss in my save

Edit: Germany seems to have the same problem too, there even is a team that had an average attendance of 1987 people in 2025 that now have 102 people on average in 2035. Czechia also have some teams with huge difference over the years, it's not as prevalent as in Switzerland but still noticeable.

It also hurts that teams will set their marketing spending at the lowest setting.
Do you see this happening in your game?

I see some disloyal fans here and there but rarely. Currently in my season I see every teams keeping their marketing spending at least at the normal setting, with a bunch even doing some heavy or very heavy marketing spending. I just reviewed most of the euro leagues and everyone is spending their annual budget's points correctly as far as I can tell.

We added some checks a while ago to avoid excessive price decreases, may need to do the same on the other end. Although in my long-term saves, I'm seeing some really large differences between ticket prices amongst teams in the same league, so I'm wondering why some teams are going with the huge increases and not others. We'll have a look.

Yeah after looking again in some other leagues I think you are also onto something, I am managing in Finland now and most Liiga fanbases are currently "disloyal", I guess it does not help the overall attendance problem, even if teams with "fanatic" fanbases also saw a huge drop in attendance over 10 years in my save
