Season Tickets vs Walkups

[GTAltman]

I'd look for separate pricing for Season Tickets vs Walkups.

If I want to change ticket prices during the season it changes universally for both.
This way I can adjust ticket prices thruout the year and not affect who already purchased tickets (i.e punish) and can give a "discount" to season ticket holders via a cheaper price.

Thx

My experience is that it works that way now. Current ticket price doesn't retro actively apply to already sold tickets.

I'd love to see the revenues I get from season tickets and walkups separately. I'd hope to see an increase in walkup revenue if my team is good/a player is approaching a milestone.

Next would there be a luxury tax to reserve season tickets? If we're going to get detailed on tickets, it would be good to differentiate between actual attendance vs. tickets sold. I've sat at many sporting events that were "sold out" yet with empty seats all over.

Well, from the perspective of the club, the difference isn't really important, other than perhaps lower actual attendance translating into lower concessions sales for that game than would otherwise have been the case. (OOTP doesn't explicitly recreate concessions.)

Back in the 70's and early 80's the NL and AL used these two different "measuring sticks" in announcing attendance.

For our purposes though, it doesn't matter who shows up to the game. If the ticket is sold and the game is played, you can bank that revenue.

Concessions don't matter either, as that is subleased out by the team to the concessionaire IRL.
