Size of recurring events..

[cenafan]

Ok, I have always wondered this, but have never actually attempted it. I am running a promotion and can have events be the maximum size of Big. Can someone explain the difference between sizes for me? For instance, if I'm a cult sized promotion but run a small event, what exactly does that mean? Would that be like a house show where I can afford to put on a bad (or below average) show and not have it hurt my overall popularity? What I'm really asking is how does the size of an event have direct impact on my promotion/workers?

all it does is effect attendance. If you bombed a small show, you'd be screwed just as much if you bombed a big one.

Thanks. That's interesting. It might be cooler if a smaller event didn't really affect popularity as much, that way we could actually run our "house shows" in a way. So, I guess the best way to book would be to always book to the biggest size possible...providing the finances are on your side:p

Actually size does have en effect as a bigger event has a higher maximum potential percentage gain in a region. Don't know if the reverse is also true tough.

[QUOTE=Gigas;485328]all it does is effect attendance. Hey i was reading this thread and i thank you also for that answer. I booked a couple of small 1 hr shows and i noticed my attendance had dropped despite putting on back to back b shows after my first 1 and a half hr show which got an A grade.:D

Also, just because nobody's mentioned it; the bigger the show, the bigger the cost. The 'Size' of a show represents the size of the advertising and hype campaigns in place for it. A Small show, for example, might only have a few well-placed flyers to advertise it, and rely on word of mouth to do the rest, it'd be a fairly low-key affair with a basic ring and little in the way of luxuries. Medium would include a few adverts in local newspapers and radio, in addition to the flyers, and there might be a 'proper' entrance ramp and personalised ring apron, etc. Big would include TV Spots and appearances and a large magazine/radio/newspaper advertising campaign, you'd have a decent entrance set-up, and a personalised ring, ropes, etc. PPV is sort of seperate, as you can only run them with a PPV deal, but the advertising for those is even more massive. Think of all the advertising you see for WWE events. So the bigger the show, the bigger the possible audience, but the higher the cost. Also, due to the increase in possible attendance, the show grade has a bigger impact on your popularity, because more people are paying attention to your shows, and thus more people will react positively or negatively to what they see/hear about.
