    [quote user="Student"] For example, you have a 10,000 seater venue. At £20, you'll sell 8,000 tickets. At £10.01, you'll still sell 8,000 tickets. At £10, you'll sell all 10,000 tickets. Here, you are better off selling at £20 (£160k revenue) than at £10 (£100k revenue), and throwing away

    [quote user="gotlucky"]I can tell you the way the Boston Symphony Orchestra sells tickets. Some seats are priced differently. The most desired seats are priced at $120, and the least desired seats at $30, and then there are seats priced in between. Then, the day of the concert (but only for certain concerts), tickets can be bough last minute

The blame is generally being placed on the corporate sponsors, because

    Adam, Do you think you could draw a diagram showing the relationship between the definitions of praxeology, economics, catallactics, etc? Maybe one for the Misesian conception and one for the Rothbardian? And another diagram of the relationship between the classes of action to illustrate what Rothbard and Hoppe miss out? I'm having trouble fitting
