Optimal ticket price is $35

Step-by-step explanation:

$50 -> 2000 tickets => $100,000 revenue

each $5 drop in price equals 500 more tickets sold

$40 -> 3000 tickets => $120,000 revenue

$35 -> 3500 tickets => $122,500 revenue

$30 -> 4000 tickets => $120,000 revenue

$25 -> 4500 tickets => $112,500 revenue

$20 -> 5000 tickets => $100,000 revenue
