Hi,

What do you guys think is the best amount of bleachers/lower tier/luxury boxes/courtside seats to maximise profits at full capacity?

Also what is the maximum arena capacity?

The arena has a soft cap of around 20k attendance, so even if you build a 30k arena, only 20k fans will come depending on factors like level of league and your current league record (winning games always help). With that being said, if you are a new team starting out from the bottom, I suggest you start building luxury boxes and court-side seats until you max it out as it is mostly affected by pricing rather than league record, then gradually build up the remaining boxes until you get to around 20k seats.

Remember to adjust your pricing to fill at least 90% of your seats on luxury and courtside, sometimes you have to experiment for a few home games to figure this out. One example: if you max out 50 luxury seats in consecutive home games at $400 each, then try to increase the price to$ 425 or $450 and see if it still fills up or hovers at around 46-48 filled seats. The same applies to court-side seats.

Keep the lower tier and bleacher prices at around minimum and don't worry about the fluctuating attendance on that part of the arena, they are reserved for fickle fans who at one minute the adore your team and then the next thing you know they hate your team.

Side Note: Do not build 500 or 1000 seats at once because they can be very expensive and you have to wait very long for the seats to be constructed. It's better to construct 10 luxury boxes or 25 court-side seats at a time because it can be done in a week and you can start earning extra ASAP.

I hope that helps.

Wow thank you very much that was extremely helpful. A couple of questions.

1. What did you mean by building luxury boxes and court-side seats until I max it out? Is there a hard cap on the different seatings?

2. So you recommend completely ignoring expansion of bleachers and lower tier until LB and CS are maxed out?

Thanks!!

1. You can only build a maximum of 50 luxury boxes and 500 court-side seats. I'm not sure about the limits for lower tier and bleachers though.

2. Feel free to sneak in a couple of the cheap seats (re: bleachers and CS seats) if you can't afford expanding the expensive ones, but don't over expand just because it's cheap you might go bankrupt because you won't be able to fill it out with fans right away.

What's important is you start expanding your stadium seats early in your BB career because it will pay off in the long term.

I've done this with my team and I'm consistently one of the top weekly earners in my league for the past several seasons because I got to 20k seats early. I hope that helps.

Goal
13450
6000
500
50

I did a calculation for the attendance.
Arena 19000 you can max out.
After that the next 2000 will get max 1/2 attendance = 21000 can have max 20000 attendance (with 1-2 odd random attendees).
After that it's 1/5 attendance, for example: 26000 can have max 21000 attendance (with a few odd ones here and there).
Eventually you will gain from any attendee, just the time your investment pays back is long.
