but if you was honest
Well the Seagulls don't sell out every category and have no chance of making $500k with the right prices. I sell 19 of my 20 luxury boxes every game and about 490 of my 500 courtside seats every game. That seems fairly good pricing to me. My lower tier I wasn't selling out (typically 1500-1600 of 1780) so I dropped the price $5 and they all sell out. I don't think putting the price up $5 (which I am currently slated to do) will jump me from $350,000 to $500,000, more likely I will have some empty seats and make about the same but I do hope that in some big games I may make an extra $10,000. Same with the bleachers, I was selling wildly inconsistent amounts from as low as 8,300 to one game that was full but typically around 10,000 of my 12,200 (now 12,700) were selling. I dropped the prices $1 and now seem to sell out every week. I also plan to put them up again but worry that I may actually make a loss if I go back to having 3,000 empty seats each game for that $1.
So if I was honest, I would say I have thought a great deal about all these figures and for the size of arena I have, I have the best (or very close to the best) prices I could have.
If I was like the Hobos and only had a salary floor roster I could afford to add 1000 bleachers every week seeing as they have a full house of people that want to pay $1,000 each to see some random scrubs off the street get flogged but 100.
