I think it's weird.
Maybe there is some error with boycott ending.

Just for comparasion:
I have teams in divIII both in Poland and utopia.

Poland divIII: 12-4 record, HG team, average $ 251k, attendance ~19300( I guess 19500 is max for divIII)
Utopia divIII: 11-5 record, almost HG, average $<230k, attendance ~18000(stadium not fully built)

We are told to aim for 90-95 % in each seat category, the "ideal" number.
I personally don’t believe this statement.
You can try using the ticket pricing of other teams in similar situations with high ticket revenue, such as Paul George’s main team.

By the way, let me also ask: how many season tickets do you have?
Is that considered a lot or a little in division III?

Anyway....i've finished in the playoffs last season, i don't know how to compare it to other teams though.
You don't need to compare in such detail.
Just don't compare with teams that have just been promoted or relegated.

For example, this team (276170) — which won the championship in Division IV in season 65, has stayed in III.1 ever since, and currently has 14 wins and 2 losses this season, ranking 2nd in their conference — has attendance revenue of at least 228k.

If you try the same ticket pricing and the revenue still doesn’t improve, then it probably isn't a ticket pricing issue.

I'm asking about season tickets because their number also affects attendance revenue (323193.100).
I'm not sure whether a fan boycott would affect next season's season tickets.

There have definitely been some strange attendance issues...

...a bug? Not sure, but perhaps the GE is being tweaked?

Home Grown; for teams who like a challenge!

Your belief is not relevant, ......
Maybe what you said applies to courtside seats and luxury boxes, since their seat numbers are strictly limited.
However, for bleachers and lower tier, when the seat numbers get large enough, it might not work the same way.

We all know that total attendance seems to have a cap.
For the seating capacity, bleachers can go up to 30000, while lower tier can go up to 10000.

Suppose that, with a big enough capacity, we found the optimal ticket pricing.
Now, if we added another 10000 bleacher seats, would the optimal ticket pricing change?

Maybe we don't know the answer to that question, but we do know at least one thing:
the bleacher attendance rate will definitely drop, and it won’t reach 90–95%.


Your second team only has 2 home games left in the regular season.
Just take it as if I tricked you—
try using the ticket pricing of other teams in similar situations with high ticket revenue and see if it improves.

If it doesn't, then check whether the number of season ticket holders is too low.

I have very few records of season ticket holders in division III.
S21: 1514
S23 to S24: 1150 → 1354
