Diagram of the Demand Curve for Football Tickets
Market Operation Through Individual Bargaining
Excess Demand for London 2012 Olympic Tickets
In a market for football tickets, there are six potential buyers with maximum willingness-to-pay values of $8, $7, $6, $5, $4, and $3. There are also six current ticket-holders with minimum willingness-to-accept values of $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, and $7. If all transactions in this market occur at a single, market-clearing price, what are the total gains from all trades that will take place?
Calculating Surplus at a Fixed Price
Consider a market for football tickets where six potential buyers have individual willingness-to-pay values of $8, $7, $6, $5, $4, and $3. Six current ticket-holders have individual willingness-to-accept values of $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, and $7. If a regulation imposes a maximum price of $4 per ticket, what will be the outcome in this market?
In a market for football tickets, there are six potential buyers with willingness-to-pay values of $8, $7, $6, $5, $4, and $3. Six current ticket-holders have willingness-to-accept values of $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, and $7. Match each potential market price with the corresponding state of the market.
Analyzing a Shift in Market Supply
Consider a market for football tickets with six potential buyers having willingness-to-pay (WTP) values of $8, $7, $6, $5, $4, and $3. Six current ticket-holders have willingness-to-accept (WTA) values of $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, and $7. All trades occur at a single market price. Evaluate the following statement: 'Any single price set strictly between $4 and $6 (for example, $4.50 or $5.50) will result in the maximum possible number of mutually beneficial trades.'
Consider a market for football tickets with six potential buyers having willingness-to-pay (WTP) values of $8, $7, $6, $5, $4, and $3, and six current ticket-holders with willingness-to-accept (WTA) values of $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, and $7. If the government imposes a $2 per-ticket tax on the sellers, what will be the new number of tickets traded and the new market price?
