Okay so here are my last two games. (Attendance has actually decreased the last two league games but I think I changed ticket prices between games 1 & 2).

7/8/2009 13058985 8496 1091 298 10 9895
7/1/2009 13058963 9679 1078 298 10 11065

(http://www.buzzerbeater.com/BBWeb/arena.aspx?TeamID=22884)

My fan survey is at 4.5 stars which is the highest its ever been and I'm on an 11 game win streak counting cup matches.

So why would my attendance decrease by so much? 1,170 less fans because why again? For simplicity sake lets say that was all in the bleachers. That means I lost $14,000 over last weeks game by selling two scrubs (again note the fan survey stars actually increased since then) and beating two of the top 3 teams in the other division and a good cup opponent.

The only reason I can see is because my last opponent is average at best (although in 5th place).

This is frustrating.

The price change is the key here. How much did you bump the bleacher prices? Bleachers are by far the most volatile market, and even a change of a $1 is going to make a difference in attendance. Keep winning, they will come back.

Can't check now but I think it was $1.

And now that you mention it...why are the dates incorrect on the arena page? Therein lies the confusion. The $1 ticket increase went into affect between the two games in question. But the arena page lists the games 1 day after they were played. Any idea why?

i just wanted to say, that the other game should be with the same prices too ;) But when you say it, it should be buggy.

But i can not explain it to you, especially because you play in america which means that the clock is nearly the same as the regular Bb clock.

One $ for the ticket prices could make a big difference, that's around 9% more expensiv tickets which means around ~10-15% loss in attendence(just a guess, but as long their are free spaces in your arena higher ticket prices reduces your income).

Ok so in my latest home game, attendance has dropped yet again, despite beating a very good team in the cup and still having not lost a game. Yes I am playing the 7th team but last game I played the 6th. What do I have to do to increase attendance??

When it's televised, less people will come to the game, since they can watch it at home.
