Evaluating Ticket Allocation Strategies
Organizers of a major international sporting event received 22 million applications for 7 million available tickets. They chose to sell all tickets at a fixed, relatively low price, using a lottery to decide who could purchase them. This resulted in a situation where the quantity of tickets demanded far exceeded the quantity supplied. Evaluate this lottery-based approach against TWO other potential allocation methods: 1) an open auction where the price increases until only 7 million buyers remain, and 2) a 'first-come, first-served' online sale. Your evaluation should consider the likely outcomes of each method in terms of economic efficiency, fairness, and revenue for the organizers.
