If you plan to raise ticket prices for the playoffs...

...don't.

In 2007 I finally got my Twins into the Series vs. the Phillies. Being a bit short on cash, I decided to raise the Series ticket prices from $10 to $20. (Hey, they do that IRL!). 4,400 people showed for game One of the Series. OOPS. (Rumour has it that most of those fans were from Phillie. We Minnesotans are a frugal lot.)

Been there and learned like you. I was still thinking along OOTP3 when I did it the first time, because in 3 it was easy to raise the ticket price to the max 10 dollars and still have a full house. I find you can only raise it 1 or 2 dollars now and keep the attendance at it's max.
