If you're saying what I think, it does not follow. Demand definitely changes based on the quality of goods offered.
If lower-bowl seats are perceived by the buying public as having a higher value, and the supply of them is increased at the expense of upper-bowl seats, average ticket prices and total revenue can both go up.
Now, if you're arguing that a greater supply of seats in the lower bowl won't affect the price of seats in the back rows of the upper bowl, or down in front by the glass, I'll grant you that. But if ‘overall ticket prices’ means an average or an aggregate, the layout of the building will certainly affect that.
