You also need to review other factors, such as fan interest and seating capacity, when determining what is the best price for your tickets. Unfortunately, there isn't a blanket manner for doing this. I seem to recall a few months ago someone tested prices in different situations, but that's likely nearing obselete status due to the updates the game has received.

there are other factors like competition and weekend dates too(atleast from my experience).

7-12 dollars/ticket. Start with that, and go from there.

I have never been able to charge more than 12 or 13 dollars a ticket, once I raise them that high the stands just don't fill.

Unless your attendance due to fan interest is horrible, you get the most attendance and most revenue per game at $10 ticket price. For every $1 rise in ticket price, you lose about 6,000 in attendance. So, if you average 42k at $10, you'll gross $420k, and 45k at $9 will gorss $405k, and 36K at $11 will gross $396k.

I always keep an eye on the attendance to see when it hits 42,000. When you do a promotion, you can raise $1 to bring in more revenue without being capped at a sellout of 45,000 if you had kept the price at $10. Always charge $20 in World Series games. I don't know if you can charge $20 for a Divisional or LCS game yet since I haven't been in one of those.

If your fan interest hits 100, you can charge $11 all the time, and $12 or $13 for promotion days depending on which promotion you do. If you increase the size of your ballpark, you can really increase attendance. As a test, I wound up attracting a crowd of 170,000 for a World Series game at $20 per ticket.

I don't go by market...I go by fan interest. If your selling them at the default of 10 and you sell out every game....raise it to 11....if you start selling out everytime at 11...raise it to 12.....ect ect...

I always keep mine at $10 regardless unless I'm selling out at that price. Only then will I raise the ticket prices.

is there a way to see if you sold out?

Yes. Look at the chart on the 'front office' screen. If the red is touching the white line, its a sellout.
