Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The Society is assuming that the demand for tickets is inelastic, meaning that an increase in price will not lead to a proportionate decrease in quantity demanded. This assumption allows them to expect more revenue from higher prices, as the decrease in tickets sold will not offset the increase in price.
