7 Lessons on Dynamic Pricing (Courtesy of Bruce Springsteen) (Harvard Business Review)

Some fans were outraged when man-of-the-people Bruce Springsteen charged more than $5000 per seat for his upcoming concert. The high prices were the result ...

Similarly, many of my B2B clients are afraid to charge prices that capture the value of their products because the increased profit will be reflected in their annual income report. [earned critical acclaim](https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-live-reviews/review-bruce-springsteens-broadway-show-is-an-intimate-triumph-196969/) (including winning a Tony Award) that justified the price. Interest in Springsteen’s upcoming concert was so high that [one Philadelphia promoter claimed](https://www.msn.com/en-us/music/news/bruce-springsteen-fans-in-philly-complain-of-long-wait-times-amid-massive-demand/ar-AA1029T7?ocid=FinanceShimLayer) that it was “experiencing the largest demand for tickets in Philadelphia music history.” Is The Boss required to set prices that are drastically below what the market will pay for all seats – even the best ones? It is inevitable that some will complain and possibly not purchase. Instead of raising prices immediately, let them know that as VIPs, the boost will be gradually implemented over a longer time period. [reached $4,200](https://nypost.com/2019/09/14/michelle-obama-charging-up-to-4200-for-tickets-to-new-tour/) and fourth-row seats for “An Evening with the Clintons” event in Seattle [were $829](https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/bill-and-hillary-clinton-to-take-the-stage-at-seattles-wamu-theater/). It is natural to be grateful to long-standing customers. Instead of following these types of rote missives, it is crucial to pushback and ask: Is this really true? As a result of Springsteen’s decision to allow Ticketmaster to use dynamic pricing, tickets for some of his shows reportedly Dynamic pricing is the strategy of constantly adjusting prices in response to demand, a practice that consumers are accustomed to when buying airline tickets and booking hotels. Fans were upset that Springsteen – a longtime advocate for the working class – was charging such high prices. But the failure to communicate this strategy in advance left fans confused and upset.
