The statement starts out correctly. If the Mighty Ducks acquire a star player the tastes of potential ticket buyers for Ducks tickets will rise. The increased taste for tickets will shift the demand curve to the right. This will cause excess demand at the original price, which, in turn, will cause prices to rise. The increase in price, however, leads to a fall in quantity demanded—a movement back along the new demand curve—rather
