Thoughts on concession pricing. Do you think it really matters what your fan support is? If so, how much of a factor and do you adjust your prices as the season goes on?

IMO it doesn't seem to matter.

as my fan support went up last season, the recommended prices went up slightly. but its mostly about the score of the game. you make much more in a blowout than a low scoring game.

But does price affect sales? When GLB first started it didn't seem to matter what the team's fan base was, we just maxed out the concession prices. Does anyone still do that?

Concession Prices do affect your sales and is based of your fan support...The higher the fan support....the higher paying fans show up to pay more

ticket sales yes

concessions are based on the score of the game - hence more concessions in blowouts

(edit - but the post of yours that I quoted mentioned nothing about ticket sales, just concessions)

If you have more Medium income and High income fans than its only obvious concession prices can be increased leading to more income....but yes same goes for ticket sales

The reason I asked was because I've seen in the past that by lowing the concession prices the game's totals go down also no matter what the fan base was rated. Lower prices should increase sales but I haven't seen it.

always set concession prices around 20% more than what the auto set gives you - if the game will be a blowout go max prices but I don't take the time to do that I just set it once for the season and let it ride

Yeah... what Reddog says. The game doesn't work well when you try to apply logic to things. Logically, you are correct. In Real Life, if you lower the prices, you increase sales. But in GLB Life, the CPU fans buy no matter what... and they adjust their buying based on the outcome/score of the game. Blowouts get you most money. Losses probably not so good.

Then why not max out the concession prices?

then they won't buy as much

it used to be set at max until they changed things

I go auto set +20% or so - but somewhere between autoset and max there is a sweet spot

I do what I want. I'm selling Jerseys at $5.00 under the recomended prices because that's free advertising for my team.
