FOF: Balance Sheet

[Yossarian]

How can my ticket revenue drop when i have 100% attendance?

[Ramzavail]

Did you lower your prices?

[Yossarian]

Nope.

I've had it happen to me before tonnes of times. Never really paid much attention, so long as i'm profitable i'm not too fussed - but now with the increased importance to $$$ i'm paying a bit more attention.

Its happened the last two years, despite 100% attendance.

Perhaps you had some playoff home games the year before, and did not have them in the current year.

[Yossarian]

That'd be it. Beenin the playoffs for about five years running but not the last two.

Maybe it's because I'm a CPA, but FOF's use of the term 'balance sheet' to describe financial performance has always kind of irked me b/c revenues and expenses are components of an income statement, not a balance sheet. A balance sheet would show your stadium cost, its accumulated depreciation, cash in the bank, accrued liabilities, etc etc. Income statements show revenues and expenses (financial performance/profitability) over a period of time; balance sheets are simply snapshots of assets and liabilities (solvency/liquidity) at a certain point in time.

Grrrr... Jim, consider this a bug report. Just kidding... Sort of... (But I'll let it slide.) :)

Glad someone else noticed. We'll get this fixed eventually.
