How Dynamic Pricing Is Quietly Taking Over Everything

Lucas and Luna unpack the mechanics of dynamic pricing far beyond Uber and airlines. They examine how Wendy's 2025 surge-pricing test backfired, why Disney leans into surge pricing for park tickets, and how major concert ticketers like Ticketmaster calibrate prices in real time. The episode drills into one overlooked question: when does dynamic pricing create loyalty instead of resentment? Specific cases include the Wendy's 'surge' backlash in early 2025, Disney's tiered park pricing, and the psychology of variable pricing in stadium concessions versus live events. Listeners learn the difference between algorithmic price optimization and the kind of dynamic pricing that makes customers feel cheated. #DynamicPricing #SurgePricing #Wendys #Disney #Ticketmaster #PricingStrategy #RevenueManagement #AlgorithmicPricing #ConsumerPsychology #YieldManagement #BusinessStrategy #PriceOptimization #LiveEvents #FastFood #ThemeParks #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #PricingPower Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
