Attendance and ticket prices during playoffs

I am playing an historical leagues started in 1965 and now I at the playoffs in 1973 and a situation that never happened in previous versions of OOTP has popped up. In past versions when you started the playoffs you could increase your ticket prices as should be when the playoffs started and the attendance would grow to capacity albeit if you raised them too much there were never sellouts. So you adjusted the price to the point of sellouts. OOTP9 seems to have a bug. The following is pre 1969 expansion and the addisiton of the LCS

1. World Series starts and you raise the ticket prices and attendance drops, this with the slightest increase of ticket prices

2. Keep the ticket prices the same and there is never a sellout

3. Lower the ticket prices and you can adjust them to get sellouts.

After 1968
LCS

1. Keep ticket prices the same attendance rarely changes

2. Raise ticket prices and attendance drops for all teams

World Series

3. Keep ticket prices the same and a few teams have had sellouts

4. Lower ticket prices and you can adjust them enough to get a sellout

As we all know the playoff have normally caused more people to who up as you also get out of town visitors to show up

In past versions attendance has normally risen at playoff times as this is a way that clubs make more money at playoff times..
