Bleachers : 5760 (Current Price: $10) (Price as of 8/28/2010: $8)
Lower Tier : 600 (Current Price: $37) (Price as of 8/28/2010: $35)
Courtside Seats : 135 (Current Price: $115) (Price as of 8/28/2010: $112)
Luxury Boxes : 15 (Current Price: $900) (Price as of 8/28/2010: $800)
Total Capacity : 6510
Season Ticket Holders: 635 (As of the beginning of the season)

Since the prices are being changed tomorrow, I'm asking for some last-minute advice to see if I should lower/higher the prices I have set for the next period.

These are my last five games:
8/24/2010 Hopewell-Loudon 4655 526 107 5 5293
8/14/2010 Hoopin Champs 4500 516 105 4 5125
8/7/2010 Dallas Mavericks8 4500 500 105 4 5109
7/31/2010 Metro City Steelers 4361 500 103 4 4968
7/20/2010 DE TEAM 4288 498 102 4 4892

Before the game on 8/24, I only had 4500 bleachers and they sold out.

If it matters, I'm currently adding on:
Bleachers: 400
Lower Tier: 100
Courtside Seats: 26

I would change Bleacher prices to 9 dollars instead of 8 dollars.
I would lower the lower tier prices to 32 dollars.
I would lower the courtside seat prices to 100 dollars.
I would lower the Luxury box prices to 650 dollars.

Goodluck!

Ok thanks, I did exactly as you suggested.

Goodluck. Hopefully you sell out, or very close to selling out.

Here is a tip. If you ever sell out constantly in one type of seat, and can't afford to upgrade it much, just raise the price every time, or at least until it becomes unreasonable, and you can pull in 5-10k more cash per home game. But if you ever notice they stop coming 100% for that seat you have to lower it. That is where the experimenting helps because there really is no baseline advice that works for every player.

The reaons no one attended your last game:
You had to play hopeless-loudon
Which happens to be where my wife graduated from ... a school of 50 or so graduating class.

Not much fans to attend that fest.

Kinda funny though...local school shows up on BB.

But to answer your question (late). I would suggest expansion if possible. If you really want to make decent cash for the next season...expand the stadium and try your best to get out of D5.

That's my hope anyway...

but sorry my personal assessment would have been: 480 for the boxes, 9 for the bleachers, 32 for the lowers, and 100 for the court, which mostly you had.

your expansions are a decent idea. You should also be happy to play 3-4 home playoff games which your expansions will reward you on. Are you playing TIE?

Hmm... Hopefully changing ticket prices will help me get a lot more attendance. I'll see tomorrow night how much attendance I can get.
Yeah, I've been playing TIE for the last 3-4 games (but I don't really need to, because I can beat every team in my league easily, with or without my starters.)
And, yeah, I've been trying to expand as much as possible.

Goodluck. Hopefully you sell out, or very close to selling out.

I sold out all but 9 seats :) (2 courtside and 7 box)

I'll have another
Bleachers: 400
Lower Tier: 100
Courtside Seats: 26

in 2 days.

Thanks again.
