OT: Astros tickets available for 2018 - georgewebb - 03-11-2018 08:43 PM

Fellow MPs:

My Astros season ticket group would like to make the following tickets available for 2018:

* April 2 is the Astros home opener, at which the World Series championship banner will be unveiled.

We have two tickets for each game. Our seats in Section 319 are our regular seats; they are EXACTLY behind home plate, in the front row of the upper deck. The other sections in this list are just a little to one side or the other of Section 319.

The prices listed reflect actual cost, taking into account the various fees.

If you are interested, please send a PM, email me, or call me.

Thanks and GO ASTROS!

When did the Astros move to a variable pricing model? Makes sense, although it seems like they may have increased the price of the 'high demand' tickets without reducing the price of the 'low demand' ones. I guess that's a smooth way to roll out a broad price increase.

This article about "dynamic ticket pricing" (https://www.scribd.com/document/185861006/sma-final-paper), which I think was published in 2013 or 2014, said "In a personal interview with Mr. Larry Stokes, the VP of Human Resources for the Houston Astros ... explained how the Astros implemented DTP, 'We first implemented the program two years ago and used it in just a few sections to test the effectiveness and to make sure we did not upset season ticket holders.' "

This would put the first Astros' foray into DTP as being in 2011 or 2012.
