Playoffs does raise attendance. If you are close to selling out your arena, then it is a good idea to raise prices

Bear in mind that any price changes you make must remain in effect for the entire month of March. So 1 or 2 home games next season will be affected as well.

Actually I think starting next season the ticket changes can be done at certain times of t he season instead of by calendar month. Here is the quote from the news from BB:

"Starting from season 12 the timeframe to change ticket prices will be changed. Currently ticket prices are changed every first of the month. This will change to periods based on the seasonal calendar, as opposed to the regular calendar as they are now."

Daniel,
Looking at your arena, you are not selling out any of your sections, so you might want to keep the prices where they are. Remember that you don't get 100% of the gate receipts for playoff games (2/3 for home and 1/3 for away). Maybe bump your prices a little if you want. But staying t he same would not be a bad idea either.

I would invert that - a $2 change in the price of bleachers can have a serious negative impact on ticket sales. I increased my bleacher prices by $1 mid-season and lost over 1500 fans in the next game. Bleachers are really volatile so you should be careful when changing those prices.
