Few things to take into account that may or may not affect your attendance:
- You promoted this season. It's probable that the fan enthusiasm is starting to wear off from the promotion.
- You recently lost against your rival, during a match TV.

However, it's true that you had another home game after that loss and the attendance bump was lower than this last game.

I guess your case will serve as a test experiment to see if the fan boycott is working as intended or if you have been affected too much.

Last question. Did you change your prices at the last update, between your two home games ? That could possibly explain things.


All good points. And yes, I did change my arena prices. I had forgotten that and, as you no doubt suspect, is a significant factor when combined with the others. Mmm...probably not a bug. I guess over the coming weeks I will better confirm this.

Thanks for the prompt reply BB-Perpete.

In last game i was 57% down in gate receipts, comparing to both previous game and average gate receipts.

I've been tanking, am in the top funds category(over 10mil) and thought that the reduction would be up to 50%.

Τhe new rule takes into consideration losing exactly that much and states that the reduction will be up to 50%.

And now that we do have such a rule it states reduction up to 50%.
Not 50% exactly, up to 50%. Meaning it allows room for attendance/receipts fluctuations(because of opponent's ranking ie) withing the specified limit.

I think it's bad practice to use real game results as test experiments. Such drastic changes should (have) be(en) tested on some seperate server, to see if it works as intended.
