What are you talking about football? In basketball the season prices are the same. There are different prices for cup, euroleagues and scrimmage games (depending on the opponent). Some teams even have the same pricing for playoff games. Knowing the game, they can not introduce income from scrimmages and PL. So you are left with fixed prize money from cup and league home games. 3 times a season is normal to change prices, otherwise it would get too messy. I would really stop attending my favorite team games if they would change the price weekly or better yet before every game. Please think logically before posting.

Lol, it is logical, many teams change prices, so I am not sure where you take you opinion from. You should maybe think about what is being said before you answer with such a blinkered view.

You may stop going, and that would be your choice, but many wouldnt, I also only assume you mean you would stop going if prices went up, but the system I suggest would bring them down as well. And that is my whole point, lots of teams know when they have a big franchise game coming up and up the prices for that game, and still sell out.

This is why I believe we should be able to do the same.

As for the please think logically comment, if you are not capable of posting an opinion without making silly or flipant comments, that please refrain from posting replys to my posts. I put it up to see peoples views, not to have stupid comments put out there about logic and such like.

I don't know how the BBL teams normally run, but within North America very, very few minor league teams use tiered ticket prices. Every game is the same price except for promotional nights when things are cheaper.

In addition, major league teams use tiered pricing (i.e. "regular" and "premium" games) that are set at the beginning of the season and are almost never changed after tickets go on sale unless they're discounted to try to fill up empty rooms through promotions.

Aside from the asinine "this is how I think they do it in real life!" argument, I don't really understand why it makes sense within the logic of BB as a game. It would wreak havoc on the economy of the game by flooding the game with more money and devaluing other revenue generating methods (why bother paying attention to your merchendising numbers when with minimal planning you can boost your overall gate receipts by 150% over the course of the season?). In addition, I think that a well designed game is a game that forces you to make decisions that involve giving something up to get something in return. The current system forces you to decide if you want to have certain settings EVERY game for a 7ish week period, which means you have to make a strategic decision based on your expected performance over that period. Changing the settings for every home game would mean that you could simply maximize the benefit every game without ever having to predict anything or risk anything. That makes for bad gameplay.

Where exactly do the teams change prices daily in basketball? In england? In US? Belarus third league?
If we are talking about knowing your opponents and having different prices for those francise games, then you should set all your games prices at the start of the season (separately). In this case you will have a full season priceing list ready when the season starts.
This game need a bit of planning, so if you know you are going on a 7 game losing streak you might want to lower your prices.
Can you please answer where you see these kind of dayly price changes and I will stop my stupid comments.
I am a season ticket holder btw and been to a lot of basketball games as a player and as a fan, it would be rather annoying to be paying different amount every visit to arena.
