What is Aragon Ballroom's concert capacity?

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.
