The attendance at stadiums is based on two factors;

1. The type of game
2. The opponent.

The attendance at a game, and the type of game can greatly affect the profit you make; as you have now clearly witnessed.

For example, play a Cup game at home to a higher league team and you can charge much more than you could playing a Friendly to a lower league team. Although this game is just a simplistic recreation of the actual sport, occasionally it does try to replicate the real world. Understandably your virtual supporters have less interest in watching your team play weaker teams in games that ultimately mean little to your team's success!

Spending Golden Balls to set optimum Stadium pricing is specific to the next game you play. The game after that is likely to be a different type of competition against a different type of opponent.

Observation and organisation is key to generating the maximum profit from your stadium. Blindly guessing is inefficient. Occasionally spending Golden Balls on random matches is a total waste of Golden Balls if you don't use that information wisely (although the Developers probably love the way you play and would recommend you continue doing as you are!) If you want to make money, then you will have to start making note of how busy the stadium is at matches; specifically how many supporters fill each type of standing or seating available.

I would suggest you make note of the pricing, the competition and the team you spent Golden Balls on. Bear in mind that attendance directly indicates whether you are charging too much or too little. With a little organisation you will eventually find more efficient prices based on each type of match and opponent you play against. I haven't checked, but if you're still in the process of upgrading your stadium, then there will understandably be minor differences in what you can charge based on the size of your stadium and specifically the number of each type of seating available.

I believe that your experience in the game also plays a part in the attendance, but a more experienced gamer would have to confirm this. You also have one other option that can affect the attendance in the upgrades you make to the Accessories. The game's HELP button, I believe, explains which Accessory upgrade affects attendance. I would imagine, based on the cost of these upgrades that, unless you have to upgrade them based on the league you're in, these upgrades are a luxury rather than essential, as your available funds may be better spent elsewhere to increase your daily/weekly revenue.
