help with fan interest

MBuser · 02-22-2004, 02:43 PM

a question: if your team is playing terrible baseball (~.350) and you are steadily losing fan interest, will lowering ticket prices of $10 by $1 or 2 raise attendance, thus creating higher fan interest? or is it all about the product on the field, assuming the team winning % stays about the same?

i saw the financial relationship thread, but it didn't give me the specific answer that i'm looking for.

Lowering ticket prices will raise attendance, but I don’t think ticket prices affect Fan interest.

what satchel said... Promotions, if you win on a given day, will help fan interest...

and promotions and winning are the only things that will increase fan interest, AFAIK.

wouldn't the prices with a mix of fans coming to the park(i.e promotions) an winning, result in price having a factor?
