The first toll lanes on the 183 North project in Austin have opened, featuring real-time variable pricing that adjusts every five minutes based on traffic, with the system designed to maintain traffic flow and potentially increase toll rates due to the new direct connection to the MoPac Express Lanes. The project, part of a $612 million effort to improve traffic flow, is being opened in stages, with the southbound lanes and connecting ramps expected to open soon, and aims to link major tollways for continuous travel from Liberty Hill to downtown Austin.
Tickets for the 2026 FIFA World Cup games at Gillette Stadium in Boston have been released with variable pricing based on demand, ranging from $60 to over $1,125 depending on the match and seating category, with prices set to fluctuate as the event approaches.
AMC Entertainment is discontinuing its variable pricing program, Sightline, after a pilot test showed little increase in patronage for cheaper front row seating. The test did reveal that customers who previously sat in the Preferred Sightline section continued to choose those seats, even with a slight up-charge. AMC will now focus on testing a different type of spacious front row seating with extensive seat recline. The Sightline initiative, which offered seat selections based on sightline of the movie screen, faced criticism and will not roll out nationwide.
