The San Francisco Rec and Parks Dept is looking at “flexible pricing” at popular tourist attractions, like Coit Tower and the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park. The price would go up on weekends and holidays, but drop on rainy days or weekdays in the winter.

This is not a new idea, other places use dynamic pricing when there is heavy demand. Uber uses surge pricing when more people want rides than available cars. Baseball teams sell tickets for less on a weekday day game than a Friday night game.

Would you like to see this used in more places?
