Synergistic interface of marketing and yield management?

Heh...heh...that promotion is this:

1. Buy expensive tickets for the summer.
2. We'll give you half-off the cheap fares when no one else is flying.

I got that, too. I have a trip scheduled for October to MSP, but I do not really see an advantage to paying full price now just to get half off then. Especially since I have no plans to go now.

This seems to be a safe promotion, full price during biting fly and mosquito season for half price during rainy season.

(Apologies to MN, I could not help myself. It is really bad here. Hot and humid. I hear it will change later in the week. Hotter and humider. And, it's worse in August.)
