Fan base/ number of fans

[ponzu]

Okay so back to the question of fan base and filling the stadium.

I am LV7, I have 21K seats. For league, cup and CL matches, I can charge $6/ticket and fill the stadium. Sometime attendance drops at $6, perhaps if I have performed poorly, and I have to go down to $5 to get the asses in the seats. But for friendlies any ticket price over $1 results in an empty stadium. I read that attendance depends on the level of the visiting team. I like to play weak teams for morale reasons, but I tried playing a team that was same LV and Q as me, set price to $2 and no one showed up. My grounds are nicely improved. It is true that I have not yet checked my fan base yet, I am looking forward to doing that.

So the questions are: how does fan base affect attendance? What do I need to do to charge real money for friendlies? When can I start increasing prices for official games?

A LV18 manager in another thread mentioned that at 260K capacity he can get over 10M from a friendly game. That would mean he charges $50/ticket and fills the stadium. Unless his game is localized to drahmas...
