Problems with ticket prices and budget

[Tyltyl]

Since the last 3 seasons (at least) I can't raise the ticket prices without seeing the attendance dropping. I'm level 16 and I have a level 12 stadium (small arena), my ticket prices are the following:

League: 30
Champions League: 32
Cup: 30

With these prices I can fill all 147k seats in the stadium, but even without win bonuses I can't raise enough money to end a season with a good budget to buy some players and build some more seats which are getting extremely expensive, not counting contracts renewal and wages. Only thanks to the Champions League win prices I can get some money.

Tonight I tried raising the league prices to 31 and only got 26.7k fans with a 0% bonus. it has been like this for a few seasons now.

Is there a problem with ticket prices or am I doing something wrong? I didn't buy and players the last season, and only 3 this one, but I ended up in red and took several days to recover. Now without spending anything at all I have 46.6M, which is barely enough to buy a 3* player, and it's the end of the season.

Please help?

It would be amazing if the forum code crack the formula for ticket pricing.

Fan base, stadium size, undefeated streak, win rate, cup and league wins.... who knows how simple or complex it might be.

That's the SEASON number I won. I'm level 16 but I tanked for some seasons.
Is it more important to not trust people than to help them?

it's not about trust, lol
I wanted to give some info and was confused about your level.
A general rule about the tickets is to start from 2X level and raising.
So your prices looks good.
Maybe cause of tanking, your team doesn't attract your fans with bad performances.
You must also raise the level of some other facilities like the parking.

What you can do is start playing frendly games.
For friendly games the ticket is less than 1/2 to 2/3 of the level.


- but I don't get it, you won the treble last season, where are the money from the prizes

There was a formula in one of the sub forums that approximated chargable ticket prices quite well I forget where it was located but the gist of it was that it was a reflection of your club supporters, manager level and stadium, as well as your opponents star level.
I'm not exactly sure but I think it was Total supporters/ level attendance cap = ideal ticket price vs other 5* teams.

Winning cup games drastically improves your supporter base. You can check it in the old version. Don't forget club shops and parking lots as not having those will cripple your attendance.
I'm charging 45 per league match and 55 for CL and maxing attendance with a 260k stadium at lvl 19. My last friendly I charged 15 and had 216k/260k vs a team 1 league lower. Just adjust until you find the 4% attendance bonus sweet spot where you max profits and wait until that 4% turns to 5% consistently and then adjust the price. Just keep upgrading facilities and eventually money won't become an issue. It's finding quality players at high levels that is the hard part.

Great reply, I'm going to try the aim for 4%, increase prices when 5% idea.

I had a notification once saying my stadium didn't sell out because of not enough parking, so you're right about many factors maybe being involved
