I was thinking it might be cool if users could set their own ticket prices? The higher the cost the more the team makes, however the more difficult it is to get a high attendance. On the other hand the lower the cost, the more people show up but less revenue comes in. maybe pair the league record with ticket demand also, like if you're expecting to have a great season maybe set ticket prices higher. Or if you're thinking its going to be a building year set the prices lower so there will be more people in attendance. Or if your team is rich and good make the tickets dirt cheap to aim to sell out each game?

Fan mood (winning record in a sense) is tied to ticket sales, so better teams are already rewarded. Outside of simulation games, teams will adjust ticket prices to min/max their losses/profits. In BB we have the option to adjust stadium size, which has the same effect.
