Content: If you buy a ticket to a particular play, and then catch the flu and can't attend, the ticket expires or perishes.

Growing Demand for Services vs. Products
You don't have to look farther than history websites or e-books (which are replacing paper books) to see examples of how producers adapt or replace products when they become dated. Think of how cassette tapes replaced vinyl records, compact discs replaced cassettes and DVDs replaced the video home system (VHS). But in some cases, services are beginning to take the place of products.
