Oh yeah, those small forwards, at least my top two have, one has strong jump shot which is why i'm keeping him and one has i think its profiecient jump shot, i know its higher than strong. And that's the main reason i'm keeping those players around. Donald burrows is my small forward and my main scorer, Matti has a decent midrange game as well, and got plenty of rebounds in my cup game last night and is one of the main reasons which i think is why i won.

I'm planning on dropping a couple of players especiially Phillip who's a 6'0 power forward, who i use to play as a shooting gaurd, and a player i don't need any more. I'm going to fire him. Actually as far as the bleachers, they are already set as of the next update next month at $10 and i actually lowered a few other prices, i think i lowered the courtside seats as well.

Again all the prices will show up next month, but i think i did before i made my first post for sure in this thread, that i did lower all of my ticked prices.

Yeah bbk, i am planning on expanding my arena, and i think that's what i'll do, especially since i have another home game tomorrow, and i can always buy another player at another time. Oh, i actually have the luxury boxes set for next month at $600 and i'll raise them to $800 at least, because i don't want them too high because i have been filling those seats. Luxury box average is 4 out of 7 seats with a couple of times at least, at 5.

I think i will expand my arena a bit more especially my bleachers since they keep filling up, and with it being $10 as of next month, i think the fans will still fill up the bleachers, although i may lower the price to $7, which is what i think i'll do. Thanks guys.

Looking at your set prices for February, you're going to sell out every game. And lose money from prices set too low when they could be higher. Seeing the rest of your league 10 dollar Bleachers will likely completely sell out and 9 dollar ones definitely will. Why set them to 7? 25 dollar Lower Tier seat prices is criminal. Again, you'll sell them all, but you'll also sell them all at 30 and probably 35. You're completely selling your Courtside seats as they are. Why are you lowering prices there? Luxury Boxes are probably the most sane change here, but are probably better off set at 900 instead.

I'm sure you'll sell all your current seats at the price you've set. And you'll make 61,600 a home game doing it. Yeah, that's 9000 more than you made in your last home game, but that's not much more money really when you *could* be making 82,775 at the prices I recommended.

You should NEVER sell out your arena. 90ish % is optimal.

Think about it this way: assume that lowering the price will sell out your arena, but it will also decrease the return on every seat that you are normally selling.

So, if you normally sell 3700 out of 4000 bleacher seats at $10, and you drop the price $1. You lose $3700 ($1 x 3700 seats) and gain $2700 ($9 x 300 new seats) for a net loss of $1000.
