Oh, so is there basically a cap on total attendance for your division? Say for example if you had set default values of ticket prices, and you were *almost* selling out.

Then, you expand your arena across the board, and decrease prices across the board for all tickets. Does your overall attendance increase? Or is there an attendance cap, and you're supposed to "funnel" your attendance by adjusting ticket prices?

Like, say a division II team tanked and went to division 5, and set the minimum prices for every ticket..would he be getting a typical 6k division 5 arena attendance, despite having the cheapest tickets in the league?

I also noticed that when my big arena expansion *popped*, my attendance actually went down, I did make more money, but that is simply because 100 more people funneled into courtside seats and even less went to bleachers.





You only have a cap, with ~20k visitors. So he would have lot more visitor and a higher income, even with the smaller prices.(if he had more seats then he could sell with minimum price he maybe also have a cap, i believe your VIP are a example for this but you could use then in the future so it isn't that bad that you already have an)

The question you ask in your first post it more complicated, as i said more seats mean smaller prices mean small income but the more seats you got the more you had to pay for the same increase in income. So it is important to find a balance betwen increasing the number of seats and buying new player.

this is my 2nd season
i started in div V, just b4 the playoffs , so I sold my superstar 18 y old,
bought 1 super FA with that money so i can get out of Div V in 3 weeks and get that promotion $$$
i used $100,000 to buy 2 trainees the next season, (3 more with draft in Div V, 1 started with)
then i put everything else in arena
i have 13000+ seats now and doing pretty well i would say
$150k / wk
the way i look at it
all u need is one super FA on ur team that fills 1 position on ur roster and let ur trainees feel the other 2
in a season or 2 u will have 3 superior positions, that's all u need to win Div iV and Div V
there is no interest in this game
so a penny standing there is a penny wasted
i have at most $20,000 in my account all these time
now i can sell off my super FA for 1 mil and let my trainees fill that hole
I won't spend that $1 mil on any other FA either.
i think it's important for u to ONLY SPEND BIG $$$ when u think u got a great chance of winning ur league
otherwise it's a waste of money ($20,000 FA for 14 weeks a season!)
