mins and maxs are not relevant because there are outliers always, but I'll give the range excluding obvious outliers
but the averages for >20K capacity is 485K (387-576) and the 18-20K capacity is 461K (394-504)
that all looks to me to be in line with what I would expect.
I understand people are suspicious cause there is a new formula, and even more suspicious because there was actually a bug on Saturday, and there might be remnant weirdness in Saturday's results, but Tuesday should have been perfect, and looking at all the data I can it seems to be fine. I think a combination of the old bug, plus the confusion because prices are able to be changed immediately are causing some people to be confused when trying to analyze the attendance versus price curve. Unlike in the past you can't trust that the price number on someone's arena page is the price they charged last game.
I was reponsible for Saturday's bug so I have felt a special responsibility to help look into concerns users have had, but I have now spent a considerable amount of time looking into these inquiries and am pretty confident nothing is wrong. I am going to focus my efforts on other areas, for we have other bugs/problems which definitely do exist and need attention.
