I think the crash is more than expected. I went from selling out at 11,000 bleachers to 4318 bleachers despite everything else positive, presumably still including the promotion boost. I raised my ticket price to 17 from 13 which would cause a decrease but a 60% decline seems steep.

That price raise is very abrupt and with some other factors can explain the drop. If you raised all of the prices, that is going to hurt you too. You'll dial in the prices eventually but it takes time and patience. Or you can ask for advice on the forums, I'm pretty sure there are some tools or at least formulas that can help you get it right sooner.

I raised only the bleachers and it went from completely sold out to ~30% fill rate. I expected to go from 11,000 to 8,000 or so not to 4,000. Note that I'm in first place in the division, won the TV game, beat my division rival and won the last game with the promotion bonus.

I have to agree that it looks suspicious. So far, I have found no definite proof it's a bug, but we can easily determine if your attendance was unfairly low when we see your next home match attendance. If it continues to be this low or similar, then the ticket rise is the reason for the drop. If not, then we'll consider taking other measures.

@Marvel: I don't think the drop you experienced is of the same severity as this one. You can see that your arena attendance jumped as much as that or more often during the last season.

It makes more sense the attendance number be affected by the other team's campaign then by the other team fans' state of mind.

I'll just say that $17 for bleachers in III is exceptionally high.

We're kind of drifting off the topic of bugs (and since this is the bugs forum, that's not good), but I'd briefly say that if you look at the seats that have sold so far, you have room to raise the lower tier and courtside and probably should lower the bleachers. I'd also suggest building luxury boxes for sure and maybe more lower tier/courtside, and maybe look at 9 or 10 for bleacher prices.

The help forum is at (144856.1) and that would be a great place to continue the conversation if you have further questions.

Surely my last two match attendances and subsequent gate receipts are too low.

Please also note that i dropped the prices in all but bleachers sections, in the last price change window, while i was at a 98-100% capacity in order to compensate for the reduction of the promotion boost.

I'm currently at division III level in gate and only 30k above enjoy bulls' average gate through out the season, while he's played all 22 matches, with 4 players, 7k total salaries and ended up naturally with a 0-22 record.
