The price charged by the theater for a ticket to the Broadway show Hamilton is so low that there is a huge excess demand for the tickets. Ticket brokers buy these tickets at the low price charged by the theater, and they resell them at much higher prices. These ticket brokers have used illegal software called "ticket bots" to buy tickets. In an effort to thwart the use of this software, theaters are now requiring buyers to type characters into a box to prove that they are human. This new policy, requiring people to type characters into a box, will have an impact on the market for Hamilton theater tickets. Below is a list of possible impacts. Move the impacts that will result from the requirement that buyers type characters into the box labeled "Will Occur." Move the impacts that should not occur into the box labeled "Will Not Occur."

Will not occur:

- ticket brokers will not be able to obtain tickets to resell

- ticket brokers will hire human workers from other countries

Explanation:

Indeed, it is not logical to conclude that this ticket brokers will not be able to still resell tickets using other fraudulent ways.

Going to hire workers from another country would be a very expensive option that seems more likely not going to occur.
