Looking at your attendance, I can understand why you think as you do. Clearly your bleachers and lower tier fluctuate with game results. Your courtside and luxury box seats have grown steadily, despite the losses in the early season. The big jump occurred in the first game following your promotion, so I think that is the major influence on those two types of seats. We can't tell what would have happened if you hadn't been promoted and gotten a boost to your season ticket sales at the beginning of the season.

Perhaps more season ticket sales go to the high end, too.

It is quite possible your early losses masked what would have been an even bigger leap in high end sales, too.

I still think what you are seeing is more due to promotion to the highest level than any fanbase effect. As you said, it is hard to tell.

On that we should all agee.

correct.
however, if you look at last season the growth was steady as well. But then again one could tell that a newly accuired team grows steadily to it's base amount. Div II is't a low division either.

Maybe if we stabi;ize someday in one or another division we might get a better clue to where the fluctuations and steady rises (or drops) might come from.

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

I agree. That's what I'm hoping to do in DIV this season, so I'll be posting my results and hoping to get good feedback on my thoughts.

I'm right about the 5 luxury box at $800. My past two home games have sold all 5 at $800 after doing only 3 at $1000.

I sold out all of my added 500 bleachers at $11, so I'll have to do something about that after the ASB salary update.

Remained unbeaten, so the dreaded loss effect is not in there.

My lower tier dropped from 438 at 440 to 421 at $42 and moved up only 3 to 424 last night. I think this a reasonable indication I'm at a 'price point' for DIV lower tier. I'm brining in more revenue at $42, so this was a good move, overall.

Courtside is slightly different and more like Luxury box. Raised the price from $118 to $120 and sold the same number of seats last week. This week also saw 3 more seats sold at $120, to a total of 95 out of 100. Again, evidence of a DIV price point.
