“…Estimation challenges related to variable selection and measurement, for the price and quantity variables especially, have likely contributed to the recurrent finding of inelastic pricing in professional sport (Cairns et al, 1986; Downward et al, 2009; Fort, 2004). Structural estimation requires extensive price and quantity data, and it is difficult for researchers to obtain detailed information about variation in prices and quantities demanded, seat quality, and ticket complements (Depken & Grant, 2011; Hakes et al, 2011). As a result, researchers have largely relied upon aggregate attendance figures and average ticket prices that cannot capture the variation in demand that exists across seating locations and, relatedly, consumer types (Fort, 2004; Marburger, 1997).…”
