A little something I learned about pricing when I was an evil person. Prices aren't set by costs. They're set by your willingness to pay.

This of course doesn't mean that you won't see evil companies adding 'fuel surcharges' or issuing press releases talking about the increased 'cost' of something they don't want to pay for.

Let's look at one Detroit example of how willingness to pay really drives prices. SUV's and Big 3 profit. Need I say more?

Back to this thread... its entirely rational for new Tiger Stadium to be concerned about patron safety. Remember how much it hurt downtown businesses after the Fireworks attack. Sales do drop if a place gets a reputation.
