That doesn't sound like you're maxmizing revenue at all. Your prices should be as high as they can go while you sell out everyday. Whether I play in online leagues or against the computer my gate revenue is usually top 3, even when I have a small market team. On my "small market" team, where my media revenue is 29/30, and basically half the amount of the first place team in media revenue, I'm running the second highest gate revenue and third highest season tickets. Combine that with my sustained winning seasons, and I end up with the 7th highest budget (172M) despite the massive disadvantage I have in media revenue (which is something that will never change).

To put it in perspective, the guy who has the lowest media revenue (1M less than me) has a budget that ranks 18th in the league, and is more than 30M lower than mine, because he can't maximize revenue like I can. The team that has media revenue half a million more than me (28/30 in the league) has an 84M budget because his team hasn't won in a while.

You'd actually be amazed how high you can raise ticket prices and still sell out when you're winning. Taking advantage of it allows you to turn small market teams into a big budget team.
