LESSON 2.4
Primary Functions of Marketing
Pricing: Assigning a value to products and services
Price is determined on the basis of supply and demand
Tickets to the Super Bowl are very expensive because
demand is high.
In 2013, the New York Jets chose to lower the prices on
about 5,000 seats combined for season ticket holders in the
300-level and in the club seating areas (in some cases
dropping prices from $700 to $255 for season tickets) at
MetLife Stadium based on the supply and demand that
impacted the previous year's sales in those areas

Primary Functions of Marketing
Pricing: Assigning a value to products and services
Despite the fact that Disney announced ticket price
increases at both Disneyland and Disney World while
eliminating many of the traditional discounts given to
local residents, the majority of Disney parks enjoyed
attendance increases.
Tickets for the 2014 men's ice hockey gold medal game at the
Sochi Olympics were unavailable within a half hour of going
on sale online. Customers were able to buy a maximum of
four tickets, with prices ranging from $233 and $1,132.

LESSON 2.4
Primary Functions of Marketing
Pricing:
When demand fluctuates as frequently
as it does in the ticketing world,
companies must implement strategies
to help identify the best price points to
match demand.
This is why many organizations are
moving toward a “dynamic pricing”
structure where games in higher
demand cost more than the same ticket
for a game with lower demand…
