What Should I do?

That is the question. I'm trying to decide whether to build more PRO seats, save up for a week to build VIP seats, or use the money for something else. If I started building a week from today, and finished a week after that, I'd have about 23 home games left. Right now, I'm charging $75 for my PRO section. If I build a new $6m PRO section at that rate, I'd have about $10.3m in revenue from those 6k seats by the end of the season, assuming consistent attendance. If I build an $18m VIP section, and charge $100 there, that would yield $13.8m in revenue by the end of the season, a $4m loss. So the variable is price. When I build my VIP section, will attendance in all sections go up, so I can charge more for all seats? My break-even price, assuming a sold-out VIP section, would be $132. Could I charge that much and sell out? Even if I could break-even by the end of the season, dropping $18m on improving my team average strikes me as a much better short-term and long-term move. I think buying 55 average players would give me much more than $18m revenue by the end of the season. My sponsor agreement is $5.9m for ending in the top 4. So if I had a 55 average team, and could pull that off, together with player sales, game day revenue, and borrowing, my sense (I haven't done the numbers) is that I could have $18m by the end of the season to build a VIP section then, and enough left over to enter the cheap off-season auction and hostile markets to guarantee promotion by the end of next season. What do you guys think? What am I missing? |

You could buy a player and make 18 million (or more) on him at the end of the season, but you won't have an opportunity to sell that player again. (Yes you can reinvest and all that, but still) meanwhile if you have VIP seats you're going to have VIP seats forever. I'm in division 4 so it's a little different from your situation, but I made about a $1 million increase in revenue for every vip section I made, so really, you may be looking at more like 20 million from your VIP section (plus a little more from friendlies/cup). Also keep in mind that you can raise your pro seat prices a little more since you'd have less pro seats once you built your VIP. If I were you, what I'd do is build a VIP right now, and invest in cheap players with 35-40 average and decent FC's. You can find them from time to time, especially in positions that are under trained (RM/LM, LW/RW, LB/RB) and train them up pretty quickly. You'll have the stadium growth and you'll have the player growth as well. Growing your players and your stadium are not mutually exclusive, they're things you need to do simultaneously. They're both long term, but stadium upgrades moreso. |

Another point worth making is that once you finish developing your stadium, you never have to do it again. | 07/10/2012 05:57 |

@practicesquad said: Another point worth making is that once you finish developing your stadium, you never have to do it again. +1000 But if u still insist want to buy player.. u can buy a 14 years old junior with high prospect n train him like junior farming n start selling after certain months. And by the end of season you will have an extra money.. but, this is my point of view... |

You should start with general first...You should aim to balance that stadium starting from the lower seats...and gradually going up. Anyway, just my opinion |

What a question... i will give you +1 for that itself. many pundits have given their 2 cents above. I will not confuse you more. Al i would say is that if you opt for PRO seats; get the one's with massage feature and get some hot women (formula 1 style) to serve food and drinks. And then charge 20$ more to what you would have. Your fans will thank you. Edited by Spade 08-10-2012 18:49 |
