OK, so I added it up, $1,745,040 in ticket sales for round one. That's not counting concessions which should put me over $2 million for one game. That's 2 stadium corners. For one game. While the other teams get $100,000. I understand rewarding the "good" teams but this will just make good teams better by giving them the additional money to build sections=more money=more high level players. I think it's silly but I doubt it gets changed.


WOW, we really need to raise our ticket and consession prices

Taking a quick look at your stadium, I would compare your income with ours and not Casablanca's. Big did a lot of seating expansion and has an end zone section versus Texas and Cleveland having corner sections and none to minor expansion in those sections.

For the playoffs, there's no reason ton not have your concession prices maxed out.

ahh, i didnt look at his stadium. i am not sure if we raised our ticket prices for this first playoff game. we sold out pretty quickly, so im guessing we should have. im gonna talk to a jones about our consession pricing

I did a lot of expansion because I believed my team would be successful and we'd make money. If we wouldn't have won, I would've been in some trouble haha.

I do have already 2 corners planned for this off-season, in addition to taking out a 1.5 loan and getting the concessions will put me at about $2.5-3 million for the offseason which will let me almost complete my 100 level.

i know we are going to be expanding, but not sure how much yet. we are thinking at least a corner and endzone.

If Cleveland wins tonight against Congo, we will have enough money to easily fill out our lower bowl in the stadium for next season. We have the funds to now complete it (with a loan), but I'd rather make sure we have financial flexibility this offseason even though about everyone has re-signed with us.

Right now the Bombers' Hangar has one corner section built with two corner sections and an end zone scheduled (aka we already paid for).

My revenue for the first game is very close to bigs and I only added a corner. Though I did add more seats than you.

Hey everyone, how much is everyone setting concession prices?

Thats maxed with no upgraded seats except one corner

You actually did a bit more than us. Maxed out with 100-100-56 support, we sold $256k worth, which was about what my estimate would be. We also just scheduled for our last 100 level corner to be built.

$354,360 in concession sales for me.

I know we don't have a home playoff game, but I am curious to what you guys are setting your ticket prices for round 2? It'll be helpful to know for future reference.

Wow, did you max your prices? I guess all those extra seats help

Yeah max prices everything.

We sold roughly the same of everything we did in the regular seasons except 2 things we sold half as much of, 1 thing twice as much of and 1 thing 3 times as much. What those things are, well, that's a little secret


And yeah austin, they better have helped for all the money I spent on them lol.

Actually, everyone's going to have a similar sales pattern since it's an algorithm. I'm sure I know what two of the three are since we had similar things happen. I was a fool and didn't max out my jersey prices though although the difference isn't anything big anymore.

Well we have $240,596 left and with the $200,000 bonus we should finish the season in the black. We've already scheduled 3 corners, and will use a loan to get the other endzone. So in one offseason we'll be adding 13520 seats. Should be a big boost to our revenue.

With 100-100-64 support, we just sold out at 3.1-3.2x's expected. That money disappeared in moment into our second end zone to complete our lower bowl and 250 seats on the sidelines. That will leave us at 22,960 seats for next season on day 1 so far.
