Answer to Question 1

Lowering the ticket prices would not move the market towards equilibrium. The fact that there is a greater quantity demanded than quantity supplied indicates that the face value is currently below the equilibrium price. Lowering the face value would cause a more severe shortage as more consumers would want to purchase tickets at the lower price, increasing the quantity demanded. At the same time the quantity supplied would likely remain the same given the size of the stadium.

Answer to Question 2

True
