Warrior General Games

Im hoping i can get an informed response or two from Randy or anyone else who is familiar with ticket/concession sales and team support. Im coming here because although my team is in USA, i have spent the majority of my time as an active member of the EE AAA forums.

This is my team....

We have a fan support of 93/32/14. My question for those of you who have a decent working knowledge of how support affects sales is, will i still be able to sell season tickets at the start of the season if i double the expected price with the fan support i have? I dumped everything i had for team funds(including a loan) into construction this off season, so i have a lot riding on my initial season ticket sales, and im praying i dont screw it up. On the same note, i have set my concessions prices to max, after reading some of the conversations between Randy and a few other owners who seem well educated in the stadium management system. Again, my question is will my fan support allow this price setting to be profitable for my team?

I guess i should also ask, if it is too high and i make zero season ticket sales on the first day, am i still capable of lowering the price and having season ticket sales come on on the next day, or are season ticket sales restricted to day 1 only? I have only owned this team for 1 year and i sold out on day one last year, so im not 100% positive exactly how season ticket sales work.

I understand that a lot of people are reluctant to give out this type of info, but it has been discussed enough by now that im hoping i can get some honest, well informed advice or opinions here. Im not looking for exact numbers or anything of the sort, just wanting to know if im likely to shoot myself in the foot and dooming my team by going with these settings based on my current fan support.

Thanks in advance for any advice or opinions that are offered.

Don't two of your gm's own teams?

All 3 of my GMs own teams, but what's that matter? I came here to ask specifically because when reading through the stadium ROI thread and the ticket/concession sales thread, i noticed that Randy, and a few others from this league had some very informed and educated information they were sharing, and thought i might be able to get a little more "well informed" answer from them.

My GMs are great guys but i havent seen any of them put out the same level of detailed information that caused me to come here. Also, by posting here i can still get the question to my GM's while also allowing others to comment on my questions.

I never thought I'd see the day...OSO!!! Where are you?!?! You can have a field day with this one jk buddy

In all fairness to the man, he presented his thoughts and information well enough for me to remember that he was one of the people who seemed to have a grasp on the topic. Ill leave anything beyond that specific topic for you guys to rib him with lol

No Randy ribbing coming from me, sir. Just waiting on the inevitable. Of course, unless me posting this stopped it from happening...or perhaps turned the attention on myself..damnit! haha...ah who cares, season 3 is just a couple days away!!!!

Id love to help there guy I really would, but I just moved to Germany and have internet for like max 30 mins a day and most of it is spent doing things to ensure that I am employed at the start of next month.

If I get internet in the near future I could help you, but you should probably ask Mrstickball, he is the guy that loves this stuff.

Thanks Randy, I knew it was Mr something, but it was way late last night when i posted this and i didnt think to go look for his name in the ROI thread. Hoping i can get this answered before sales for tomorrow. I have my tickets set at 2x expected and id hate to lose all of my initial funds for the season because i set it too high for my support.
