Luxury Box Revenue

[stevew]

I have 399 luxury boxes in my new stadium. The price per season is 199K. When I sell all of them, I should generate 79.4 million for the year, if you take the simple 399*199k equation. Except that, instead, I generate $321,590,000 from suite revenue. Making each box generates about 805K per season in revenue. Now it says in the help file that each box holds 25 people, so I'm not sure how that is figured into the equation. My stadium holds 99900 people, and sold out completely last year, so I'm going on the assumption that every ticket I had available last season was sold. Any thoughts?

revenues probably also include concessions, possibly even advertising

Agreed.

You are obviously playing Maximum Football and have some custom revenue sharing in your league

Seriously, I was trying to think of a revenue sharing scenario but I don't think that is the answer. 399 is the maximum number of boxes, I'm assuming that your price ($199k) is not the lowest in the league or that the league average is not $805k per box so I got nothing.

Are you sure the price was $199K last season? The game does not carry over your pricing from last year, based on some testing MIJB did, I believe. So, if you are looking at the balance sheet from last year and checking the prices this year, that $199K may not be accurate. If you have an old save game you could check.

Also, you can find the exact luxury box attendance by looking at the play-by-play, if you save them. That might help shed a little light on the subject, but probably not much.

At some point, I believe it was theorized that ticket revenue included a part of the sales from away games, but I don't think that was ever verified. Sort of a revenue sharing perhaps.
