SAMPLE ANSWER
Statistical data on the average prices of tickets in a theatre in every quarter from 2010 to 2011, and the total share of sold tickets over the same period is depicted in the given charts.
In general, the ticket price is seen increasing and remaining constant despite a small fall in between, while in case of the share of ticket sales, a clear fluctuation is seen.
As per the line graph, the prices of tickets went up sharply between the second and the third quarter of 2010, after remaining constant at £9.25 in the first quarter. From the third quarter of 2010 till the end of 2011, the prices remained at £10.5 despite a minor dip of £0.25 by October, 2011.
It is to be noted that the ticket sales did not go down below the half way mark in 2010. In the first two quarters and the last quarter, the rates of seats booked in the theatre were 60 and 80 respectively, whereas in the third quarter, only half of the tickets were sold. Ticket sales saw a drastic decline in the first two quarters of 2011. From 80% vacant seats, the theatre saw a comeback towards the end of the year, with 70% ticket sales.
