Sure, people will buy the tickets at a certain price, but at that price, everything else, like FO wages, suffers, but hey, they got jobs right? I guess the thing to learn from this is that there is ALWAYS demand, it's just a matter of figuring out how to meet and the trail of destruction you leave to make a product that can be offered at a price to meet that demand. I think many people will agree the cost in the long run is not worth it, but we are the "me" society and we want our stuff "right now", whatever the cost...
