I can't find any similar folder so I will open this topic...

Is there anyone who can give me some advice for Arena expanding... I mean numbers?


I try to get it alone...and I found something like this:

Bleachers : 57%
Lower Tier : 28%
Courtside Seats : 14%
Luxury Boxes : 1%

Am I right? Does anyone do this before me?

My feeling would be that your bleacher %age should/would be much higher, somewhere around 80-82. Then lower tier around 10-12 which would leave 6-10 for the higher price seats.

It's really just a guess, but I'm not familiar with HT. I know that bleachers respond the best to a winning record!

I have 85% bleachers, 13% lower tier, 1.9% courtside, and 0.1% luxury boxes.

I haven't ever filled the 10 luxury boxes (0.1%)

This is the best in my mind:
Bleachers : 87.6%
Lower Tier : 10%
Courtside Seats : 2.3%
Luxury Boxes : 0.1%

I estimate the average of more than 30 Games with High Ticket Prices

I've currently got
Bleachers 84,2%
Lower 12,4%
Courtside 3,1%
Luxury 0,3%

The luxury boxes I nearly fill, everything else sold out last week, and the week before, so I'm adding more. Also the luxury boxes are the only element not already at maximum ticket price.

I don't play HT but I do play battrick, it's cricketing cousin. In that there is a 'formula' for the different seat types, but I don't think BB can have such a formula, because the different seating types react differently to win/loss and also to ticket prices. So there's more than one way to maximise income I think, dependent on pricing strategy and on-court performance.

I have:

Bleachers 82.5% (FULL)
Lower Tier 14.0% (FULL)
Courtside Seats 3.3% (FULL)
Luxury Boxes 0,2% (max is 18 / 20 seats)

But the bleachers were the last in get filled, so i'm not sure if a higher % it's right (sorry any mistake in my english).
I'm thinking to expand my arena, but i don't know if i must increase my bleachers %.

What I like about BB is that it is not just about percentages of arena because there is another dimension, ticket prices.

I saw some people talking about HT but they have fixed ticket prices for each part of the stadium but here you can increase the prices instead of expanding the arena.

My personal opinion is to expand according to what you are selling and your desired ticket price. What I do is to set a fair ticket price, and then if I sell out, expand :) and when I check my percentages (with my current expansion going on)

86% bleachers
11% lower tier
2% courtside
less than 1% luxury

I will see if I continue to sell out lower tier and courtside.
