Your Budget
When you have a Stadium Pass and you join a league, you will have a budget to use to pay players. This budget determines how much money you can spend on players. Each year, the budget is up for review as it continues to set the limits of how much you can pay for players.

Your Loan
Along with your Stadium Pass, every manager is extended an interest-free line of credit. Your first year, this credit will be used to build a stadium, advertise, and pay your players. This loan will always be available in future seasons for stadium expansions, extra advertising money, or player contracts. Each year when you work on your budget, the maximum loan amount will be the cap on what you are allowed to spend.

Ending Funds for Year


How to Increase Ticket Revenue
  • Increase your fanbase. The more fans you have, the more tickets you will sell.
  • Increase the Quality (stars) of the seating area. A higher Quality seating area will fetch a higher price.
  • Advertise. Advertisement will bring more people to your game, which will generate more income.
  • Install toilets. Fans will pay less for tickets when there are no toilets.
  • Tweak your ticket prices and find the one that gives the most revenue.
  • Install concessions and souvenir shops, and tweak those prices for best revenue.
Planning for the Future
You start with a loan the first year, but how fast you pay it off is up to you. It is important to be paying it off so that you have more money to spend in the future on stadium improvements. Each year when you approve a budget, you will supply a list of stadium improvements to make. If you have maxxed out your loan, there will be no way to pay for these improvements.
Q: I added seats to my stadium, and my revenue went down! What happened?
A: When new seating is added, it is added at a default ticket price. This price is not always the most optimal price available based on your fanbase and seat quality. Whenever you change your seating, be sure to always review your ticket prices!
