Notice that, since 5000 tickets are reserved for students, there are 13000 available tickets that can be acquired by students or the general public.

Since the cost of a general public ticket is greater than that of a student ticket, we can increase the revenue to its maximum by selling the remaining 13000 tickets to the general public only.

Therefore, the answer is 13,000
