Your tickets are too expensive in my opinion.

I have to agree with the other posters about price. Have a look at some of the other teams in your Div and see if you can find a comparable Arena size that is getting good attendance numbers, then look at your prices in relation to theirs and look to change prices similarly next update

My opinion on Arena which I have only developed this last season through reading and discussing a lot (It took me about 2 seasons to receive any advice on building - my fault), is work to get the Courtside Seats capped out at 500 and get Lower Tier to a couple of thousand. then build in patches up and down from there. Luxury Boxes will cap out at 50, so not too long for you there.

You can start chipping away at the seat numbers, but your most urgent is getting the prices right, it's tricky and frustrating but keep learning.

I think that is a great idea. It will take some time and a load of cash, but the end product will generate you awesome income in an upper league with a competitive team.

Looks like you are about the same as myself in Arena growth, I am thinking of the same proportions and have decided to do the LB last.

I understand where you guys are coming from but in small countries its reasonable for me to sell out my arena with an advanced pr-manager and a couple of road wins even if the tickets are at maximum price. I know that in big countries like USA ticket prices are usually lower then the default listing , well some are but in India I can get away with over pricing tickets with a pathetic roster. Its just another example of that micronation problem.

Fair enough about the micronation-America analogy but you still need to lower your prices. If it is reasonable to have your prices that high due to road wins and a PR Manager with a good level, then why isn't your arena selling out? I'll give you a hint: It is because you are 5-6 in your league so you cannot afford to have your tickets that high. You are barely selling out half your arena (which is small) so you are only making a fraction of what you could be making. I have you making about 100k from your arena per week which isn't bad but there is no way you will ever sell out with a .500 record and tickets being that expensive. We can disagree if you want, but you could easily cash an extra 50k+ by lowering your prices a bit. Putting all your tickets at the max is not the way to go.

Okay,I have another question. Im thinkin about selling my roster and buying 8 18yr olds and training them , is a level 6 trainer too much ?


And if I do decide to do this what is the lowest potential my players should have ?

Ps: you were correct I make 102k per game right now

*sigh* you are trying to make some noob moves man (no offense), but I got your back. ;) You should never get more than 3 trainees so you could sell some of your team to make room for three 18 year olds, but you should not get any more than three. This is because with two games a week along with a scrimmage you only have enough minutes to fully train three players. If you were to have 8, then none of them would come anywhere close to their potential. As for the trainer level, yes, 6 is probably too much. A level 4 trainer is perfect because there isn't that much of a difference between a level 4 and a level 6 trainer and a level 4 trainer would be much cheaper. If I were you this is the route I would take:
Buy two trainees (Either two guards together, two forwards together, or two big men together). I would look at 18 year olds with decent starting skills with at least P. Allstar potential. That is enough potential to get you two 50k+ players that you can train however you want and then you have an extra game per week to make sure they both get their minutes for training.

Everything EBW said, except if you want to train 5 players in 2 position training. If you wanted to do this, you would want SFs (or guards/bigs you want to secondary train first), training 1v1, JS, or RB every week. When you're ready to switch to 1 position guard or C training, sell 2 of the trainees.

Aye you right , im messing my team up so im just gonna start fresh ... not make another team but I made a mistake i already made a bid on 8 players and I am going to acquire them ( not purposelfully ), then fire them . Once I do that I be making 180k per week and I will Buy some good players and probably train 1 or 2 post players and at the same time still make around 50k per week until my revenue from my arena increases and I start buying better players and getting more money sorry for my typing

btw : Are the price changes I did to my arena acceptable now ?
