There is often only one major league baseball team in a city. What effect does this have on ticket prices?
3.2. The stadium of the MANU has 30 seats. The demand curve for tickets has a price intercept of $36 and a quantity intercept of 72.3.2.1. Draw the supply and demand curves to scale (in Excel and copy it to your word answer-This demand curve has the form P = 36−0.5×Q.)
3.2.2. Determine the equilibrium admission price, and the amount of revenue generated from ticket sales for eachgame.
3.2.3. A local alumnus and benefactor offer to install 6 more seats at no cost to the University. Compute the price that would be charged with this new supply and compute the revenue that would accrue at this new equilibrium price. Should the MANU accept the offer to install the seats?
Suppose Bull Gator Ben has paid his $14,300 donation and purchased eight
season tickets at $32 per game. He discovers that he only needs seven tickets,
and sells the eighth ticket for $150.
Although he sold a ticket for $150, did he make a profit on the sale? (Hint:
Compare what Ben paid to his revenue from selling the ticket)

- There is a shortage of college basketball and football tickets for some games, and a surplus occurs for other games. The following graph shows the market for the football team home games. Suppose that your favorite football team has a stadium that seats 25,000 people and that for every game during the season, the football team administrators charge $15 for tickets. The demand curve for the tickets for the top-of-the-league games is labeled Drop, and the demand curve for the tickets for the low-ranked games is labeled D Low On the following graph, use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot the supply curve for the tickets for the football team home game.
