So if you are close to that cap the fans won't increase that much, and if you somehow managed to get way over it you will probably lose some fans.

The key question is, how the heck did they manage to get that much over the cap? Was it some sort of a bug, or was the cap toned down?

Yeah my first though is that it was a bug, most values of the solid I.1 teams are reported around 4000-4500 or something. 6500 is well much imo.

But maybe they indeed decreased the cap, because the I.1 teams were making way too much money with their 20k sold out stadiums hehe.

Ah wait they still are

Don't forget to add in the DT profit.....

Seriously... soft cap or not we need to have a bit more understanding to fan behaviour as initially the tactic was win all the time improve attendences and this was equally as important as training. If now even by winning you cant attract fans with a lvl10 PR guy then you have to question something. I also appreciate we are unlikely to be building and filling 50,000+ stadiums and filling them anytime soon...(or are we!)

Maybe even though the game is young some people are just ahead of the cureve and will continue to have to work with 20-25k stadiums forever which when full with max ticket prices should give 12.5million revenue per year (with TV money excl. Cup money)

This would then give us a rough maximum total salary of 1million per week for staff and players (assuming you have a reasonable cup run)...

This still gives a few seasons more of potential profit if you can build and fill your stadium before you have to carry mega wage players!

You absolutely don't need to be in the top division to daytrade.

Anyway, let's get back in to focus here, we are waiting for a reply from the BB's about what happened with the season ticket holders.

Shouldn't any cap on season ticket holders be a percentage of stadium size and not a whole number?

Stadium size, IMO, should have little to no bearing on season tickets. If anything, compared to real life, smaller stadiums will likely be the best way to increase ticket demand.

Disagree. The bigger the stadium, the more options in marketing, both for casual and season ticket buyers. But, I am no economist.

I know Cal and Nebraska have similar sized football stadiums, but Nebraska sells far more season tickets. On the other hand, Sac State has virtually 0 season ticket holders and a tiny stadium. Maybe the quality of the product is what drives ticket demand.

Major League Soccer has been moving from large NFL sized football stadiums to smaller ~20k stadiums, and one of the major drivers is to create venues closer to the size of ticket demand.

Why buy season tickets when you know there will be thousands of seats unsold?

Because season ticket holders get perks and generally there is a small discount involved as well.

Certainly there are economies of scale- no soccer team in the USA could draw 70,000 fans and operational costs on a stadium of that size are a lot more than on a dedicated soccer stadium that seats 22,500.
