So far it seems like it generates the same amount of money as regular season matches which is odd because wouldn't playoff games get certain TV rights and higher ticket prices?

One other thing sort of related to this. I have a lvl 7 trainer whose salary is 16000 something. Add the players salaries and the scouting costs my weekly balance is almost almost in the red. Is building more seats really the only way to generate a lot more income quickly (I read something about merchandise sales) and if that is so how many seats would you recommend I build?

No, there is no playoff attendance bonus.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke

A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

if you pay TV Money, for up to 5 Games wit would be kind of unfair to the rest, because thats a lot of money.

But i counted like a tv game an i think they coming some extra visitors.

One possibility to raise the income of home games was raising the ticket prices, which is more usefull for the beginning, then building a greater arena(maybe some VIP places).

Are you sure about that? I thought we had the same discussion last season and I was about 85% sure, that Playoff-Games have an attendance bonus.

This is one of those things where half the community yells that there isn't one, and the other half is sure there is.

For the record, the BBs have stated that there's no bonus.

I also thought there was an attendance bonus because every single one of my playoff games showed a significantly higher number of spectators. I saw the same thing with other teams too. But this can be logically explained: In the playoffs you play against highly placed teams: these matches always generate more spectators than when playing the team in last place. So I think this is why it seems that the attendance increases due to the playoffs while in fact it doesn't.

Now you're cooking with oil.

That basically sums it up.
