lose a large share of the market because they become uncompetitive compared to other firms‚ therefore demand is elastic for price increases. If firms cut price then they would gain a big increase in market share‚ however it is unlikely that firms will allow this. Therefore other firms follow suit and cut price as well. Therefore demand will only increase by a small amount: Demand is inelastic for a price cut. Therefore this suggests that prices will be rigid in oligopoly The below diagram suggests that

Variable prices? When tickets are placed at the lowest prices‚ the law of demand states there would be an increase in ticket sales to the game. The revenue would therefore be higher. If the prices were placed at the highest prices‚ the demand would be elastic and very few people would be willing to pay for the tickets. They may not be as willing to pay for them because of their budget limitations and their discernments for what is necessity or luxury. The revenue would then be lower. If the market used
