We should keep in touch then. I'd like to see how well arenas are filling in all the different Bleacher/Lower Tier variations. Right now I'm leaning towards the 15k/5k but I want to keep my options open so I probably won't expand my Bleachers anymore for a while and just get my Lower Tier to 5k.

Thanks for your input.

Oh, I really don't know. There could be many reasons:)

Trust me, you don't want to be a guy like me, no plan, or anything, just spending $$$ on arena. I got something about expanding arena's, but I've stop expanding for quite some time. Best for you to plan up Texas to make the most out the arena.


Bleachers :15410 (Current Price: $6) (Price as of 4/5/2014: $6)
Lower Tier :2975 (Current Price: $19) (Price as of 4/5/2014: $19)
Courtside Seats :500 (Current Price: $60) (Price as of 4/5/2014: $60)
Luxury Boxes : 50 (Current Price: $450) (Price as of 4/5/2014: $450)
Total Capacity : 18935

I'm racking in 100% in D:IV, how would this fair in D:III? Making only 29k. I'm done expanding for quite awhile anyway.

Is this new? I thought I read somewhere that it only occurs once.

Do you have any regrets with your Arena's end result of a 15k/5k?

It's poorly worded - but the BB staff has clarified it that you get the promotion bonuses each time you promote (with the caveat that promotion through bot promotion rather than winning a title doesn't get you the attendance boost and presumably not the season ticket holders increase).

Has anyone every quantified the attendance boost?

When you promote and get the boost, is it as if you are the top team in the league, attendance-wise, or is it even greater than that?

I bot promoted into DIII, so I didn't get to experience it and run the numbers.

I haven't heard of anyone giving hard numbers but I can say it lasts until the next arena price change after the start of the season.

It was either that or by the All Star break. I can't remember 100%, I promoted into D.IV a long time ago and was stuck there for ages.

I'm not sure if it is necessarily greater, but am pretty sure it is at least equivalent.

I use an indicator of about 50% greater price for bleach/lower and 33% for court/lux over selling price in previous league. That is to sell the same # of tickets.

Anyway that's my method.

For a rough increase, I increase prices by the same percentage as the increase of season ticket holders. I then adjust a little bit by what other teams at my level are doing and what my season expectations are.

well i can say you last season i promoted to div 3 i got 2.6 mill in a season, i was selling out so could of got more like 2.7-2.75 mill i think. This season i went 21-1 i got 2.4 mill so yep, promotion bonus is alitle bit more income than league leader makes
i had been promoted in div 3 3 times made 1.5-2.6 mill a season depending on the size of the arena. If your arena is smaller you wont make that much. But with huge arena you can eazily get between 230-280k a game depending on ur oponent strenght. I also think promotion bonus lasts for a whole season but diminishes abit., But if you keep winning the second half a season like i did, attendance keeps stable. But the next season even if i was 15-0 streak i started with a huge drop of atendance maybe 50k my first game compared to last seasons last game then slowly growed back to like 240k a game. once before first loss had 32 -0 streak lol in both seasons I am pretty convinced the promotion bonus lasts whole season, but also winning streak has an impact too, if you start losing every each game whole season you will be still making much more than other person without a promotion bonus losing each game.
Also to mention i believe i had merchandise boost too. cause used to make around 50-55k last season while this 40-45k..
And i am also having in mind that the higher tier the seats the more constant attendance is, im going for a 11k-10k arena
