Playoff Ticket Prices

[StarsGM]

This is the first time I have run the club in the big show. What are GM's thoughts on maximizing playoff revenue? Do you try to find that perfect medium of cost vs attendance or just jack it up and know people will come out and you will haul it in?

The home games are precious...so very precious I want more money! Yes my precious.

Well, Obviously I can't speak to the playoffs right now, but I always prefer a full house to more money and a bad attendance percentage. I know I fully intend to use my 2nd straight year being top 3 in the league for attendance as a selling point to free agents. I'll present it as Columbus has the best fans in the League (number one attendance in a year I was last place says a lot, and that if I keep my ticket prices fair to keep the fans happy, I'm probably doing anything I can to make the players happy.

That's my take, I'm sure there are others though. Shoot for sell outs, don't let your arena be 67% full in the playoffs. Lol

I always try to get the building full or close to it.

Each round you can up the prices a bit more and they will come.

I need to experience this!!!!!!!!!

I have been doing exactly that....takes time. When I took over the prices were extremely high and only 915K per game and about avg or just over 16,000 per home game. I lowered the price a bit and now im bringing in 946K a game and 17,500 per. Normally that would be great percentage, but I have a stadium that is 20,500. I think it is all about filling the stadium. So I will probably lower my prices a little to get into the 94+ percentage.

I gotta say that I definitely have a look at the prices that the rest of your guys use. I try to maximize price and attendance. I think a full house is important optically and demonstrates an environment that players want to be a part of.
That being said, the price of admission goes up for the conference finals.
