Customer Friction from Dynamic Pricing
Definition
Dynamic pricing causes price unpredictability and excludes average consumers, leading to frustration, dissatisfaction, and reduced attendance at events.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: AUD 100-300 per ticket lost sales (e.g., A$135 to A$500 surge pricing out fans); industry avg ticket price A$128 with 12M contemporary music tickets sold
- Frequency: Per high-demand event (e.g., Green Day 2025 tour)
- Root Cause: Algorithms driving real-time price surges beyond consumer tolerance, violating perceived fairness under ACCC oversight
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Performing Arts players in Australia 🇦🇺 lose up to 20-30% potential ticket sales due to dynamic pricing backlash. Automation of transparent fixed pricing eliminates this risk.
