Is there an ideal size (or proportion) for an arena or arena expansion? When I start selling out games, how should I raise my ticket prices and/or build to compensate (or do I need to just play around and figure it out for myself?)?

the optimal configuration depends on your ticket prices, and your succes ;) So i think everyone becomes a personal arena key.

You earn more money with less ticket prices and lot selled tickets, then with a high price police where you had to build less seats(but this gives you money earlier, because you don't have to pay for seats).

I sold out my first three games, boosted the prices just a bit (roughly a 1.5x increase for each) and my first home game after the price change my first match I got a little under 4000 attendance and my second game I got around 4500. The seats that took the most damage were the cheap seats. The increase from $10 to $15 seamed to hurt at first, but as I've only lost 1 competitive match this season so far, I'm sure that it will gradually go back up to 5000. I'm thinking about adding more seats sometime soon and dropping the prices back to the starting range and seeing if I can generate some more revenue.

There is an excellent discussion of arena sizing here: (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/BBWeb/Forum/read.aspx?thread=...)
