The New York Mets began a “dynamic ticket pricing” system in 2012, in which ticket prices set by the team fluctuated as the game approached based on demand. Joris Drayer, an assistant professor in Temple's School of Tourism and Hospitality Management, analyzed pricing data from 31 of 81 scheduled home dates. Although dynamic pricing means the asking price for a ticket changes over time, the ticket-price fluctuation varied only modestly.
