50,000, though average gate much lower.

For info, the ideal stadium breakdown is approximately:

63% Terraces
25% Basic Seating
10% Seats under Roof
2% VIP Boxes

If you stray from this, you're wasting money as you won't fill your stadium.

Does anyone know if the costs that are increasing are the cost per seat or the initialisation costs? Or both?

Ive just lowered mine down 1000 its now 11,000 With att's are about 3,000

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

a) 75,000
b) 33,877
c) V.135
d) 47,000 Terrace
19,000 Uncovered seats
7,000 Covered seats
2,000 VIP

That's pretty much the 63% / 25% / 9.5% / 2.5% split that HT recommends. In terms of sales, I've sold a gate of 52,006... but I guess I built the ground in order to ensure that I wouldn't need to extend it for a very long time, if ever...
