In a level IV division feel my team is 3rd-5th best team in division
Bleachers 6710 at $13 Average 60% sold
Lower Tier 650 at $50 Average 70% sold
Courtside Seats 175 at $125 Average 80% sold
Luxury Boxes 15 at $1000 Average 40% sold
PR Manager level advanced makes 12900, just upgraded from competent last week
I feel my prices are to high where do you think I should take them to optimize my arena income?

Bleachers >> $10 or $11
Lower Tier >> $40 to $43
Courtside Seats >> $115 to $119
Luxury Boxes >> $700 to $800

Your new PR manager might increase fans slightly but the main reason for fans to come watch you is that you are either placed highly in your division (eg. Top 3 or 4 teams) or you have had a huge winning streak, and also having local players that play a big part in your team can help attendance.

Hope that helps.

Also, I just noticed that you are currently expanding your arena to build more bleachers. I wouldn't recommend this. Expanding your arena is a great idea but I think you should focus on building more of the higher priced seats. I.e. Focus construction on Luxury boxes and Court side seats.

Also, I checked your games, and out of the last 4 matches you have won 2 and lost 2, this is a big part of the reason for why your attendance isn't as high as it could be. Win more matches and get more attendance and hence more money to be used to help your team get better which will help you win more matches and it is and endless cycle!

Hope that helps!

You definitely have enough seats after your next expansion. First of all you should lower the prices of your luxury boxes, the bleachers too, so that they are almost sold out. This would be the perfect situation.
Very important to get more customers is that you win the away game before the up coming home game. This makes a huge difference in attendance.
As already mentioned a winning streak would be great, but quiet impossible if you're only 3rd-5th best team in your division.
