A Lesson in Supply and Demand

So, I see William Jefferson Clinton has been attempting to sell tickets to his own birthday party, with musical guests the Stones.  Prices ranged from $500,000.00 (the “Birthday Chair Package") to as little as $5,000.00.  Unfortunately, for Bill that is, his little birthday party isn’t drawing quite the interest he craves.

The minimum price, with inferior concert seats and no brunch, was set at $60,000 (£31,000). But with many rich Democrats sending their regrets, The Mail on Sunday can reveal that last Wednesday the Clintons drastically slashed prices to $12,500 (£6,500) for one reception and the concert, or $5,000 (£2,600) for just the Stones.

With the looming possibility of Bill and his long-suffering wife and daughter finding themselves amid a sea of empty chairs at the 2,900-seat Manhattan venue, tickets then went on sale to the public for as little as $1,710 (£900).
