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)
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?
In 2014, the Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl. Draw a supply and demand graph for Seahawk tickets in the following season to show the impact of the Super Bowl win.  (It would be the same graph for Seahawk t-shirts, hotdogs at the game and beer.)
