I would like to get some opinions on what hikes would be advisable in ticket prices as I move up to Division III.

I got here once before, had no idea what I was doing, relegated, then needed a long time to get out of a very tough league. I'd like to do it right this time.

Thanks!

Rough guess:
15/50/130/800

Strongly consider building your stadium up. You look to have an cost efficient roster. It should be relatively easy to get the stadium up 2 million in additional seats next season in Div III.

Look at teams with similar arena size to yours in the division above. What are their prices? Did they sell 90%+ of those seats after a win? Around that price is one you should be setting.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

That's what I usually do. You should also consider what your predicted record will be in the new league and how will that affect your attendance. Also consider that if you promote you'll get a bonus in attendance for the early part of the season, so use that to your advantage (wisely).

That was the exact purpose of this question, to find out what some of the wisdom on this would be. I know I'll want to boost the tickets for at least the first half of the season with the promotion excitement, and figuring out the right targets is pretty critical to success.

I feel like my arena is of sufficient size to bring in what I'll need to be competitive (12500), but I don't know where I'll be landing so it's going to take some studying once I promote. I scouted a handful of D-3 leagues at various points, and I see competitive teams with arenas of my size. Obviously some will be bigger, and I know I need to aim toward 20k if I want to promote again with emphasis on Lower Tier and Courtside seats first.

What's your plan for next season?
Getting to 20K is a long process. IMO perhaps building more higher-priced seats first would be a better deal for you, depending on your team performs, but generally attendance for those seats are more stable.

I think it's too soon to have a plan until I know where I end up. I would hope to just be a top 5 team and adjust for weaknesses in my team. Building the arena may or may not be a top priority. I've been steadily improving it over the past few seasons, but if I need to spend cash to stay in my new league then I might do that instead.
