One day, a local theme park charges $40 per person for admission, and 10,000 people visit the park. On another day, the park charges $60 per person, and 20,000 people pay to enter the park. Which explanation best describes why the park sees an increase in attendance when the price is higher? Theme-park tickets are part of a rare class of goods which do not follow the Law of Demand. High prices signal a high quality park experience. The higher price gives the park an incentive to expand capacity and permit more visitors. The low-attendance day falls on an autumn Wednesday, while the high-attendance day falls on a summer Saturday.

The low-attendance day falls on an autumn Wednesday, while the high-attendance day falls on a summer Saturday.

Explanation:

There are no rare class of goods which do not follow the Law of Demand

The most probable reason may be the dates are at different time period, when the demand is lower and therefore the price must be lower to generate enought attendance to make it profitable. While, the second date is onpeak demand.
