Ability to Adjust Ticket Pricing?

*Not meant as a criticism*, because it's the rule in GLBL, but having a static ticket price can also play a role in this (aside from everything else discussed). The game now allows you to set the price in the off-season (I think prior to Winter Meetings) in order to sell season tickets before locking, but then unlocks again during the season so you can adjust/react to your walk-up demand. If you have solid season ticket sales at a certain price the previous season, your success or failure on the field can be used to adjust and sell more (hopefully). That's part one. Then if you do have a slow start, you can adjust your price in the regular season to keep the walk-up traffic (or raise the price if you are consistently sold out. In prior versions the ticket price could be gamed. I sincerely believe it is a lot harder to do now and there are repercussions to wild swings. Having a static price doesn't allow that, so possibly the game just thinks "you" (in the broad sense) are just being obstinent if your season ticket and/or walk-up sales are less than optimum??? As a bottom-dweller at the moment, I would certainly be running them lower than $25 to give people some additional incentive to coming to the park to watch a re-building squad. *Again, just 2c, not a criticism.*
David Jones made this post in general chat and i happen to agree that having the ability to change your ticket prices can be strategic for teams on both ends of the spectrum. it is important for any team to be able to fill their seats. This change allows gms to do this on the fly and be responsible for their attendance.
