Inflation --- Tickets

I know there's a slim chance of this happening, but maybe any active players that want to will lower the price of tickets, and if enough people do, then maybe people will notice and generally charge less for things? I know inflation is big on here, and 300-500K for 75 points is a crazy amount. Maybe 200-400? Or even lower? Just a thought

I would love for this to happen, but I don't think it will. Too many people want as much as they can get for their tickets. I would support this 100% if people jump on the band wagon!

The problem isn't individual prices of things, it's just because there's so much money floating around. As more money disappears from the game, prices will go down (because people will have less to spend).So if you really want to help stop inflation, go to the store and buy lots of things. Or send either account 1 or account 666 any amounts of money.

I'm currently ticketing a dog and I'm paying maximum 300k... But there's always someone that will pay higher and ticket sellers are always talking about how they should be getting more money and feel cheated when they only get 'low' offers on them...So I don't really know how to convince everybody to lower their prices... I don't really mind inflation (because ultimately it's going to happen), so long as everything stays in proportion.. but at the moment, upgrade prices are shooting up way faster than anything else, and you can't actually sustain the price of an upgrade from ticket and show sales anymore, which you could easily do in the past.

I agree, but maybe "peer pressure", or everyone doing it will lower prices. I guess it just has to balance itself out for now!

I have slowly notice a change. graphics are not going for ridicules amount of money. the most Ive seen graphics go is 200mill - but those are really really good ones. But I also agree. I would sell lower price tickets, and upgrades if everything else wasn't so expensive.

nothing is really going to go down until people stop wanting 370mil+ for upgrades. ★ Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating★

Its all about supply vs demand. If there are a lot of players ticketing at once prices skyrocket. I don't really mind ticket prices. You only really need them if you are doing a project.

When I sell my tickets and shows, I try to sell them for a few million less than the usual going price, but I won't be lowering my prices any more than that.As an avid ticketer I can see both sides of this. Cheaper tickets would be fantastic and it's like hitting a gold mine when you find someone who sells them for way way below market price, but at the same time I can understand why most people don't want to lower their prices too much, especially if tickets and shows are their only source of income.

I don't want to sound greedy on this,but tickets are my main income and if I lowered my prices,I don't know how I would make it xD.I dont like the idea of prices being lowered.Since my shows never sell I can't complain on those and would be happy to lower if somebody came to me asking :P.

I try to keep all my stuff low-ish...my htix are 400k and my dog tickets are 275k... and i usually always give people great deals on upgrades :) as my autobuy is usually 300million...every once in awhile i have a sale and sell em for 250mill...but no ones gonna lower prices until no one does projects..which is like never! i remember when upgrades were 2million and tickets were 50k!!! but ticket prices have stayed around the 500k mark for awhile now...soon itll be like HL where youre payin 1million per ticket... :(

Basically I can't add much beyond what Adranth has already said. But we are working on pulling money out of the game, the trick is that for a long period of time we have to pull out more money than the banks are putting in and that's hard to do. And as money comes out, slowly prices will adjust.There's really no other reasonable way to lower inflation. Horseland did it by taking everyone's money, which is UNREASONABLE and I'm not going to do that. Other than that everyone just has to try to keep up.
