I checked the new arena performance things and I'm kinda confused with the post, not sure if they have what I want to ask, but pardon me if they do (coz I could hardly understand a thing)

I was just wondering if playoffs have a spiked attendance? Yesterday was just the second home game I had starting my team, and I had a bigger arena, and hiked the price as well (from middle of the range allowed to approximately 75% across the price range allowed). My arena (granted, it's still small) still managed to sell out.

Is it safe to say that if I stay in the same division (and continue to win), I would probably be able to at least charge that amount until my arena gets too big?

People are willing to pay more to attend playoff games.

I see. Thanks peeps. I guess I'll take it with a grain of salt at the moment, and decide on the price later on. Too bad I didn't hike up my prices further xD

Does anyone know how the engine is generating the attendance ?

I've won 8 games in a row, beating the 1st of the two conference and the 2nd of mine, in a row, and yet the attendance came down by almost 20% (and i've change the price after the drop, that didn't help neither to recover, and as i'm now a fool i'm trying the highest price available just to have fun).

The only change i made was recruiting 2 players to strengthen the team, can that explain the drop ?

I've raised and dropped prices by a small margin to try to find the sweet spot and there hasn't been much drastic drops to the attendance/revenue. There were drops occasionally when I reduced the price but were within my expected values, and in some cases I even earned more despite the drop in attendance.

But I do agree, revenue is the way to go. Although I also seem to find quite a relationship between them: cheaper seats (but not too cheap) in a sellout stadium is more than expensive seats with it only half filled.

The fans are fickle. Often I notice it is the quality of opponent that determines the attendance. Case inpoint, a week ago I played the #1 team from the other side, almost sold out. Then the next home date for a decent looking cup opponent it went down 25%. Also merch can be real suspect to change, was drawing about 42-44k every week, but that went down 10k each of the last two weeks. I think it has to do with being stuck perpetually in about 6th place for three sasons in a really tough conference.

Opponent's game record should be a factor as well I guess? I beat the #1 team in the next conference last night and had about as much attendance as the #5 team in my conference, both of them have the same record (tho it's assuming the #5 team stayed in that position when we played each other).

But funnily enough when I was playing against a 0 win table bottom opponent in my last home game (cross conference game) I actually raked in much higher attendance than in my last game (against the #1 seed in the next conference), and that was right after I lost a tight cup match two days ago. Could the effect of the loss only affected me after the next economy update?

I guess I have a different point of view. For a winning team, the opponent strength shouldn't be a factor, when the warriors play at home they sold out for every single game, whoever the opponent is.
At the other side of the scale, I do understand that a suns - warriors get a much higher attendance than a suns - Cavs...

As a matter of fact when you're winning there shouldn't be a +/- 20% attendance, that's not fair and not understandable.

Well sadly that seems to have happened to me, tho not 20%.

I had 14k attendance against a table bottom dweller with no wins, and the next game against the top team of that conference I only had 13k.
