Rationale: As sea ferry tickets and hovercraft tickets are substitute goods, an increase in the price of hovercraft tickets will

cause a shift to the right (increase in demand) for sea ferry tickets. Given no change in supply conditions, the consequence will be an increase in the number of sea ferry tickets sold, at a higher price than before.
