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!

This is not just "someone" selling that many in a "normal" game.

I would not generalize from Venomous Scorpions to other teams.


Would be interesting if it is possible to "sell" 25k tickets with lower (lowest) pricing, saturday I had 20,7k (112046761) with 9 / 27 / 117 / 575 (20.000 / 4.450 / 500 / 50).

Firstly, thank you for your comments!

Will you please clarify what WR and STH are?

Also, would you mind teaching us how one can calculate marginal revenue of a certain seat type?
(For example, let's think about Lower Tier seats. Say, somebody has 2000 LT seats and their ticket price is set to $40. Cost of building one unit of those seats is also $700. In the last game 1500 of those seats were taken. Is this info enough, or does the manager need to do some elasticity analysis by changing the price of the tickets and see how demand changes?)
