To determine how many tickets were sold on Saturday after selling 2,000 tickets on Friday, we can use the information provided about the ratio of Saturday ticket sales to Friday ticket sales.

We know from the problem that the number of Saturday tickets sold is 175% of the number of Friday tickets sold.

First, we can calculate the number of tickets sold on Saturday using the following formula:

\[ \text{Saturday tickets} = \text{Friday tickets} \times \frac{175}{100} \]

Given that 2,000 tickets were sold on Friday:

\[ \text{Saturday tickets} = 2,000 \times \frac{175}{100} \]

Now we can simplify it further:

\[ \text{Saturday tickets} = 2,000 \times 1.75 = 3,500 \]

So, the number of tickets sold on Saturday was 3,500.

Therefore, on Saturday, 3,500 tickets were sold.
