60-100k$ seems a lot to me. Are you sure your opponents set their prices as correctly as you do ?

Once promoted last season, I was around 550k$ and it looks like you earn 10-20k more. The main difference is that I won some games (rival, TV) while you don't at the moment. So that's a solid advantage for you, but i'd say it's not that huge (in front of the investment and what else could have been done with this money).
And you're still in the promotion bonus, which will fade earlier because of the losses. Might be interesting to see your gate receipts then.

And yes it's nice to get your feedback too ! Cause if one day I have to tank for a bit, I might build some more lower tier seats if you can show me how much you get out of it :P

I'm not sure, but i haven't seen too many teams that have attendance of 25,000+ that are priced properly, so i would think no.

But 10k for bleachers is too low for DIV I. If you're regularly winning in DIV I you'll sell 10k Bleachers at the max $20, no problem. Thats only $200k earned from bleachers which is way too low.

The answer to your question is yes. 15/10 will be the same as 15/5 or 10/10 depending on pricing. Also keep in mind that the maximum attendance is roughly 20k and seats are very likely sold in order: first the boxes up to 50, then courtside up to 550, then it would be LT up to 10550 in your example. You will sell as many seats as the price supports. So if you set LT to 25, you will almost certainly sell out.

So yes, with 15/10 you can benefit from higher bleachers in lower leagues and have an edge from higher LT in higher leagues. I wouldn't buy 5k extra seats just for that though.

nah, in an extreme example you could sell 50 boxes, 500 courtside and 19.5k Lower Tier and you shouldn't be able to sell any bleachers even if you set them at $1. This has always been the general understanding of how the arena works. At least, nobody's ever heard of someone selling 21k seats in a normal game (league or cup), no matter what the arena composition and the arena size (there are people with 50k+ seats arenas...).

To have definitive proof, we'd have to ask someone with these outrageous arenas to put prices as low as possible and see what happens.

Someone selling 21k in a normal league game.

But still, good information (generally) to know. Thank you!
