What there is clear demand for is big, special, interesting MTTs. People don't play the $50 deepstack because it is small and seemingly uninteresting. There is no demand for small, uninteresting tournaments.
Events like the Classic show that FTP can pull numbers, there just needs to be something interesting to pull those numbers.
My personal idea would be to run once or twice a week major tournaments for all stake levels. For example, if this was the Fifty Dollar Fifty K Tuesday I bet FTP could get 1000 runners. Esp because of the Super Tuesday. This would boost the schedule all day, get some people to deposit on FTP, and maybe open the client more often.
I'm rambling here but I'd scrap the current offerings at 13:00ET and replace them with a rotating selection at different buyins.
I'm out of ideas and tired. But the point is there is demand for big, interesting tournaments. They don't need to be every day for every stake level, but putting up MTTs that people will get excited about can help rise the tides of all the daily offerings. If you got the guys who play the Super Tuesday to log in and fire some games on Tuesday that makes them more likely to log in on thursday, ect. I'm sure the same could be said for all stake levels. When I used to play small stakes I'd have been thrilled if one or twice a week there was a special tournament I'd look forward too. I doubt theres much on FTP for those guys right now.
