How it works

Each event night, attendance is driven by a simple demand model combining price sensitivity, marketing reach and word-of-mouth reputation:

priceFactor = clamp(1 - sens·(price/basePrice − 1), 0, 1.6)
mktFactor   = 1 + mktEff·√(spend)/140
repFactor   = reputation / 50
attendFrac  = clamp(baseDemand·priceFactor·mktFactor·repFactor, 0, 1)
attendance  = round(attendFrac · capacity)

Money and staffing quality:

revenue   = attendance · price
costs     = fixedCosts + marketingSpend + (staffing%)·staffMaxCost
profit    = revenue − costs
staffNeed = attendance / capacity
quality   = clamp(1 − max(0, staffNeed − staffing%/100)·2, 0, 1)
Δreputation = (quality − 0.5)·8 + (attendFrac − 0.5)·4

Event type — each genre has its own base demand, price sensitivity and marketing effectiveness (a sports screening is cheap and price-sensitive; theater is pricier but loyal).
Ticket price — pricing above the genre's natural price point shrinks demand; pricing below it grows demand, but revenue per head drops.
Marketing budget — has diminishing returns (a square-root curve): doubling spend does not double attendance.
Staffing level — understaffing relative to how full the house is hurts guest experience and drags reputation down over time; adequate staffing costs more per event but protects reputation.
Reputation compounds: a strong, well-staffed, well-attended night raises it, which grows the audience for the next event — exactly the feedback loop a real venue operator manages.
