perhaps more people would attend.

I don't think it works, does it? Seems to me there is a set amount if you go too low or too high at some point.

Cost does not affect attendance. That's a myth.

Yeah, way back early in the previous version, I debunked that one after the vast majority of people were saying "Make money from releases, keep your concerts free for maximum attendance." Truth is there's no effect, so keep your concerts full available price (not sure why there's even an option), and earn money while your popularity goes up (and ability).

The only thing to watch with touring is making sure you're building up from the lower capacity venues, and only moving up to the next once you reach 100% on the one below. Otherwise it takes longer to build up attendance at the next capacity.

Either way, you can't charge no money because it calls for a number between one and one hundred, does it not?

By Gods sir, I think you might be right. I just tried it myself and this does seem to be true. Lower ticket prices do increase attendance. I don't know if that's been changed, or if I was just wrong before, but wow, that's interesting.
