I think that this is a lack of parity, but I may be wrong.

As you know, this season's game consist of 7 CPU-run scrimmages, one human-run scrimmage, and 8 human-run regular games.

Home-team revenue was generated for the CPU-run scrimmages and the human-run regular games, bot NOT for the single human-run scrimmage. This means that half the teams only get revenue from 7 home games, whereas the other half of teams get revenue from 8.

I've PM'd support, but they don't seem to care.

Any other Canada A owners want this extra game of home revenue that they should have coming? The more of us complain about this unfair situation, the more likely we all are to get that extra $100k or so.

+1, I had a home scrimmage and frankly I'm a bit short of payroll for the season...I'll just take a loan around day 34 or so, but it would be nice to get some of that...additionally for those of us that built seats right away we missed out on ticket sales for that game.

7 games was a juice but as of now we have to deal with it.

all ticket sales still counted, since they were sold at the beginning of the season. The only thing home scrimmages lost out on was concessions. That is still around 100-150k though so it is a sizable issue.

Good, I'm glad I'm not the only owner. I'll start a thread in the bugs forum (probalby tomorrow, though) and link it here - there are 128 teams this is affecting, so if you own one of them, please post there and tell them that we deserve this $100k.

No...I built seats for my stadium before the scrimmage...those seats sold out for my 3 remaining home appearances, but not the scrimmage. That's what I'm saying...if I had a road scrimmage I would've sold those seats for 4 games...

At my ticket prices those 1100 seats for one more game would've been 82,000 more...

Guess I didn't consider the building of seats prior to the scrimmage. Thank you for correcting me

So there are really two issues then - the loss of revenue from concessions as well as the loss of revenue from new seat construction?

Did you at least sell tickets for the game for your other seats?

Yeah, when I got my team all seats for the season were sold out...so the only additional ticket revenue I got was for my new seat construction...however I got paid for 3 games instead of 4 like others.

Moose Jaw is looking at the same situation. We only had 3 home games during the 8 game season, and our scrimmage was a home game, so we lost out on concessions.
