What 4,500 means on a settlement sheet
Illustrative face-value gross at three ticket prices and three sell-through levels. Real nets land lower: comps consume capacity without revenue, and per-ticket fees sit between face value and what the show keeps.
| Sell-through | $30 ticket | $45 ticket | $65 ticket |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100% (4,500 tickets) | $135,000 | $202,500 | $292,500 |
| 85% (3,825 tickets) | $114,750 | $172,125 | $248,625 |
| 70% (3,150 tickets) | $94,500 | $141,750 | $204,750 |
Whether a show pencils at these numbers depends on the guarantee and cost base, not the gross — break-even is the number that decides.
