The better the seats, the more loyal the fans. Also, keep in mind that attendance will always be a % representation, so the bigger the arena, the more A.I.S. (rears in seats) you'll get, even with smaller %. For example, my arena is roughly twice the size of yours, and I've only drawn under 12K one time in the last 10 games. My prices are the absolute minimum, and my smallest take at the gate recently has been $104K.
Looking at your arena, I would max out your courtside seats to 500 capacity and even just cutting the prices halfway between $50 and your current $97, you should see a significant boost and max out that seat range. With your luxury boxes, you'd probably boost to 10 or more every game by cutting your prices to $800-850...your take then is $8000-8500 instead of under $6K.
The next two sections of seating are much more volatile and directly related to your teams performance game-by-game. Even with the bare minimum price tag, since I'm not aggressively trying to win, I rarely fill more than 1/3 of the lower tier, and half the bleachers. But because of the larger arena, the smaller % still have a significant impact.
I don't think I ever had my courtside seats anywhere near $97, even when I was in DIII. As a general rule of thumb, when you are relegated, the advice is to slash your ticket prices at least in half.
