Not necessarily, as long as there is some sort of capacity constraint we know that this could well be a profit maximising move. If the 0.65c bit was always full, then it would just be weird.

I wouldn’t say this is a complicated explanation – to be honest I thought of it BEFORE I thought it could be a mistake. Then again, my brain is programmed for sexy economics.

I hope they learn from it and continue to increase total surplus for the good of the nation 🙂

Anyway, your theory might hold if supply of lower priced ones were restricted to day time sales and bags BO and B2 were the only ones allowed at night. But where;s the evidence!!?? Are students capable of discriminating at that time of night (or day)?

That isn’t as sexy – so I’m rolling with price discrimination for now 😉
