T4RG4 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Manager of Newcastle in the Prem, finished first season in 2nd (to Arsenal of course ) Pre-season of second season is complete, have brought in a few new faces (some of which are stars in comparison to last years rag-tag additions), yet the board have just told me we've sold less season tickets than last year. I can understand this happening, and I'm not claiming a bug here, but it doesnt quite make sense. If Newcastle finished second in real-life I'd imagine season ticket sales would be up, even if only slightly because their support seems strong come-what-may, and not down. Second season we've sold 32k, last season 35k were sold. So... what determines season ticket sales? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phnompenhandy Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Have the ticket prices increased? Now in the View drop-down menu you can see average ticket and season ticket prices. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Wakeford Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Mainly the performance of the club affects ticket sales: the better you do and the bigger games you have, generally speaking, the more people you'll get in. There is a known issue with season ticket sales dropping slightly though and it is under review. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grep Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 The only solution is to let the player choose the price so it will set the relationship ticket-price vs spectators -> revenue. It is enough to let the player choose among some pre-set values like € 4, 4.5, 5, 6 etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah okay, at least its a known issue. Is it just a season 2 drop, or will things continue to head south? Maybe resolved with a few other things in a mini-patch...

In my country ( Italy ) the manager doesn't decide players' salary, this is choosen by the board. I have several examples like this, just ask.
