The first is to identify pricing concepts, methods, and practices as they apply to product pricing generally, and to ticket pricing specifically. A secondary purpose is to apply the pricing concept, methods, and practices toward developing written guidelines that performing arts organizations can use to set ticket prices. Data is gathered through an integrative literature review of materials dating from 1932 to 1997.
Literature is reviewed from the fields of economics, marketing, and arts administration.
Analysis of the literature reveals issues and information that is used to compile guidelines for setting ticket prices for non-profit performance events.
