Reduce the prices and the arena will be sold out, even if you are losing sometimes.

I know how the ticket price system works, thanks, but we are talking about a national Tournament Final.

It's a different context. In real life prices of finals are always sky high and the arenas are always full.

I think the whole point here is that fans should be able to separate the campaign of a team in different competitions, as they do in real life.

The fan behavior nees to be better tuned, because in real life if a team is doing very well in the cup and not so good in the league, the fans wont give a rats about losing a couple games in the league before a big game in the Cup. All they'll care about is the big game. Teams even play these previous games with reserves to rest up teh top players to the big game. Here we do the same, which is correct, but then the fans run away...

I think theres really nothing to think about.

Its exactly what Raonne said: prices of finals are always sky high and the arenas are always full.

I appreciate the effort BB's put into the game trying to balance out economy and having no competition prizes so things wont get too unbalanced between teams and all that, but if the cup doesn't have interesting publics during its finals and if getting really far on the cup doesn't result into a nice advance in fan base, then it's really only a decorative cup...
I think it would be nice to see teams being rewarded for their struggle in a competition.

is there any kind of reward in season ticket purchases the next season? I imagine there would be with such a successful campaign.

Like in real life, the tournament final should be at a neutral place.
No home-court-advantage. 50% of the income and 50% fans for the participating team.

I agree, but that's a whole other thing.

Well, I think that a final should be taken like what it is, a Final,and losing one or two league matches before the final should not be important regarding attendance to the final...

On the other hand, ticket prices beeing sky high should have a little to do, I mean, its a final I know, but I wouldnt pay a ticket 100 pesos when the league ones are worth 5 ... youve got the point...

That's why we already have the upper bounds for the ticket prices. But if you can't put them on max in a national title final, then when will you? That's what I think.

I could also agree that this is not good, unrealistic, unfair, outrageus but all the sistem cup should be revised. I've lost this game (3935279), then I've played away and at the end there is the possibility to face immediately a strong team.
If I play all the games away I think this is more unrealistic than a revenue for a single game; random is dominating the cup at the moment and I think something should be done to avoid waste of money (playing away against IV division teams) before to care about one single match.
