The team my player is on had a home game yesterday but the team finances did not go up. And from the look of it the team can pay our players tomorrow(away game) then it will be about 10k short the day after. After the day the team runs out we have an away game then another home game.

The ticket prices are at the most 40% over the yellow price and that is the corners. The sidelines is 19% higher. So its less than 50% more so we should be getting income.

I want to know if we are going to end up leaving the team or if the income from home games just takes a few days to show up.

Ticket prices are far too high for a Rookie team, they need to be around the x1.15-1.18 mark over the yellow, expected price. However, the team should still have got money from Concessions unless they were massively overpriced too.

If nobody bought tickets, nobody was there to buy concessions.

$5.50 beer, $8.50 microbrew, $4.50 soft drink, $7 nacos, $6 hot dog, $20 foam finger, $60 replica jersey.

I don't know what the original prices were but I will let the team owner know about the prices of tickets.

Some people should have bought tickets. There are 600 club seats and they are only $100 compared to the yellow $95 so thats less than 1.15x

they probably sold all their tickets through their first 8 games at the prices I see there at the moment, plus the 20% season ticket discount in place

they should fire their CFO

The corner seats were $50 before the owner lowered them today. And I never saw the cash change until the first day of the season when it started to lower. Also if we did sell tickets then shouldn't we have gained money from concessions?

without seeing the finance page it is hard to tell

you also spend $30K a day on salaries so you have to factor that in

the owner could also be buying additional seats with the cash each day

if he is keeping the team for the long haul it is a bad idea

if he just pre-paid for stadium sections to be built next off season, then you could be OK

He was going off numbers from when he owned a rookie league in the past when those numbers it seemed worked just fine then. And we only sold season tickets it appears. I used the information that you guys gave me to let him know to change the prices so we can make money at our next home game before the 3 week limit for no money(I take it a week is one day off one game day?)
