Ask HN: Why don't theaters and opera houses use yield management?
2 points by var_eps on Jan 2, 2017 | hide | past | favorite
When browsing for movies, theater, and opera tickets I've noticed they retain their price regardless of demand for the performance. Some performances have been consistently booked at only 50% yet the prices didn't change. Given that these institutions face substantial fixed costs, why don't they use yield management to maximize their box office revenue?
