attendance

Hey guys. So I recently upgraded my stadium so it holds a capacity of 3000. This morning for my league game however, only 2500 showed up. However we still got the 5% bonus. So if I lower the ticket prices a bit, would I get the full 3000? And I was also wondering if which team you're playing is also a factor on how many people show up. Like if you're playing a good team, more people come out to watch, and if you're playing the worst team in the league, like I was today, less people show up. Or perhaps at level 2, that's the maximum amount of people that can show up for a home game or something?

Yeah you got it spot on, the 2,500 was the attendance cap for L2 teams.

I haven't seen a link anywhere but July gave me an advice to not spend tokens on stadium upgrades, in which case you will never encounter a problem of exceeding maximum capacity

Alright thank you. Yeah a table showing all the caps could be nice.

I didn't spend any tokens and I exceeded the maximum capacity.

I stand corrected then. Did you join the league 1 early in the season? That could be why I can't ever exceed it, because I started around day 18 and I always build stadium as much as it allows me and I am at level 6 and I never exceeded it.

Oh that could be it then. I joined on the 4th day of the season.

I'm not sure you guys completely got what July Forth meant, especially by saying "spot on" ... or at least I assume he did, as one of the senior managers around.

Yes, 2500 is probably the "attendance cap" for level 2, but that's not the right term to use. I'm not sure if you could possibly have more than 2500 fans on level 2, so that's a possible reason why no more than that would show up in this case, but that would be due to the simple maths of how many fans can you attract per match/trophy until that point.
There isn't a cap of actual attendance, there's a limit on how many fans can give you possession bonus, so that you don't get more than 5% per match. Lowering the ticket prices WILL give you higher attendance, but if 2500 already give you 5%, then for a 3000 seat stadium it doesn't make sense to lower it as you'd get lower revenues:

- $4 tickets: 4*2500 = $10000
- $3 tickets: 3*3000 = $9000

That's for the "attendance cap", but there's another thing - @festinator was spot on on BOTH suggestions. The team that you play against does make a difference AND so does the competition.

You could try putting the price of your tickets up $1 to see if your attendance drops, if it doesn't drop then put the price up for the next match by another $1 until and so on until the crowd number drops, then drop the price by $1 and you will have reached your optimum price for your league level.

There are crowd limits set for each league level, so the 2500 is the maximum you'll get until you get promoted up to level 3.

I'm currently on level 4 and the crowd limit is 11500 (bit of a waste of a 21000 seater stadium!!) so as long as that many turn up you still get +5% possession.

If your still in the cup or CL then you should be able to charge more for those competitions (all adds to your revenue :-) $)

@Narf

Sorry to disagree, but there is a cap on the number of fans that can attend a match at each level
I've tested this during the past couple of seasons -

* I'm on level 4 and have 32700 fans
* I've got my optimum ticket price set and get 11500 fans at Every home match
* I've set my ticket price to €0 and still only get the 11500 fans

I seem to recall it was 7000 at level 3 and the 2500 at level 2 (can't remember what level 1 was)

Not sure why Nord have coded the game in this way, it must be just as easy to set the max possession level and then have an unlimited maximum crowd level IMHO

The attendance cap for Level 2 is 2,500 (I have a 3000 seater stadium and 2,500 is the cap), I have a fanbase of 4.04k and todays last match hasn't even kicked off (If I win I will get to 4.3k)

Ah, ok then - so there is an attendance cap. Speaking from the experience of a non-spender I couldn't have reached the cap, so I couldn't have known that.
Everything else I said still stands though.

Those of you with stadiums too big for your level....

1) do you spend tokens to upgrade your stadium faster?
2) do you upgrade your other facilities?

1. No I don't spend tokens. It takes 16 days and voila, bigger stadium. Had the 200 seater stadium, upgraded in my first season to 1000, and then this season to 3000.

2. Yes, that's what I do for the last half of the month, upgrade the other facilities.

@T92...

2, Yes...

Never spend Tokens to upgrade stadium faster, it's not worth it and gives you no advantage at all.
Upgrading Youth/Health/Training gives you extra Health & Rest Packs and also gives you Youth Team players, so I would suggest all three are worth upgrading when you can (but not spend Tokens on)

That's what I've been doing and I've never come close to having a stadium too big for my level. So, I was curious how this was occurring for some people.

This is my 6th season and my stadium is only 21K. But as you can see, my other facilities are well developed. Attachment 8348

Hmm... I've got a question
My brother's team is only 6th whilst I'm top. I have 428 fans while he has 374
I must admit I did set my tickets to $6 for a top of the table clash of which I got a full house, I left it at $6 for a mid table team and only got a lowly 253/400.
I dropped it again to $5 but only 322/400 so dropping it to $4. Meanwhile my brother's tickets are set to $5 and has been getting a full house every game.

So wanted to know, does form or formation have anything to do with attendance? My form is LWDDD (Away, Home, A, H, H) and playing a wide diamond. My brother plays 4-3-3, form WWLDW (AHAHA)

Small numbers I know, but I'm L1 and need cash lol

Funny part is, till season 4, I didn't even know that there is a total stadium upgrade. I used to upgrade pitch, lights, seating and other facilities but not the stadium as a whole. Then I noticed other's stadiums are better than mine so I checked my stadium page and saw the upgrade button next to Stadium Level 0. That's when I upgraded it. LOLs......
BTW, opponents Q does affect the attendance at home matches as there was a thread in which the basic formulae for the ratio of ticket price to attendance was given which included the current form, opponents Q, our own Q, ticket price, etc. it was tested and held true for many.

Greatly helpful !
I'm at lv3, always 6k/8.5k with 5% possesssion ! It seems to be right that max. Cap of lv3 is just 6k.
Any suggestion for lv4? what is the Max?

My point about current form affecting attendance is true. I am tanking and so have lost last 15 matches. I keep ticket price at 6. be4 I used to have a full house out of 13K but now get only 9-10K attendance. Even against the same team which I had played and got 13K attendance be4.
