What everyone else has said.
While you won your TV game, which was also your rival game, which is great, you lost your prior game to this home game, and were facing a lower ranked team, so it makes sense you took a hit to your attendance. Unfortunately, your next home game is against an even lower ranked team. This happens in all leagues. In DII when you face a tanking team, you can see an impact in ticket sales greater than $50k all else being equal.
When did you raise prices? Was it recently?
Essentially, when it comes time to adjust prices, note what your range is in ticket sales and pick a happy medium, and then base your price decrease on that number. For instance, if you only sell out in the best circumstances, you may want to decrease your ticket prices a little bit, but if you are always coming in between 60 - 80% capacity, you'd want to lower ticket prices a bit more. This is of course not an exact science, so there is a lot of trial and error, plus your team will get better and better over time, which will increase your ticket sales, but you'll also be building your arena, which will require more price adjustments. Have fun!
