Im not as expert as some of the guys here but I'd imagine the ticket pricing is pretty much like real life. If you're a winning team then people will pay whatever price they have too, to come see the stars in action.. If you're losing/struggling team you can't be charging top dollar and expect a full house every game!

right.. itd be nice if your budget would reflect the difference based on what ticket price we choose.. so we know if we r going to make or lose money

I get that. For instance if you set your tickets to 50c then you'd probably go bankrupt. Need one of the more veteran players to help out with the question

Not exactly true. In my historical league I raised prices to .25 higher then anyone else after appearing in 15 consecutive WS(7-8). My attendance went from 2nd to 13th.

Don't go over budget. Check teh market size and the fan loyalty of the teams. NYY may not be a 10. Milwaukee should be 4-5. I always edit market size, sometimes fan loyalty when setting up a league.

what would u recommend i set the market sizes to.. is there any templates available??

Not sure how you can predict attendance especially when team performance affects it.

I don't think there are any templates but here is how I do mine.
NYY = 10
NYM, PHI, BOS, LAD, CHC, TEX = 9
STL, SD, LAA, ARI, ATL, HOU, TOR, MIA, SF = 7
CWS, SEA, COL, BAL, TB, WAS, DET, CLE, = 6
MIL, PIT, CIN, MIN, KC, OAK = 5
Then I will change Fan Loyalty also upon setup. I leave Fan Interest alone as this will be changed by moves which will eventually affect the other 2.
10 = CHC, NYY, BOS, STL
9 = PHI
8 = COL, SF, ARI, NYM
7 = LAA, LAD, TOR, BAL, WAS, CIN, TEX, HOU
6 = CWS, DET, CLE, TB, SD, ATL, SEA, MIN
5 = MIL, MIA
4 = PIT, KC, OAK
These are all my guesstimates on what they should be to start a modern league.

From your Team menu click Team Setup and then after you do your team you will see a drop down menu on the near top right for the remaining teams.
