When excess demand exists for tickets to a major sporting event or a concert, profit opportunities exist for scalpers. The table below indicates the quantities demanded at various prices, fill in the values for the supply curve for tickets to a sold-out venue that holds 20,000 people. Price per Ticket Quantity of Tickets Demanded Quantity of Tickets Supplied $50 45,000 20,000 100 40,000 20,000 150 35,000 20,000 200 30,000 20,000 250 25,000 20,000 300 20,000 20,000 350 15,000 20,000 The fact that there is a face-value price of $50 per ticket could be illustrated on a graph as a horizontal line at $50 The equilibrium price that will prevail in the market if scalpers are allowed to operate in the black market would be $ 300 per ticket. The quantity of tickets demanded at the face-value price is 45,000 tickets. For this example, a shortage of tickets exists at the face-value price.
