What 771 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.

|---|---|---|---|
| 100% (771 tickets) | $15,420 | $23,130 | $34,695 |
| 85% (655 tickets) | $13,107 | $19,661 | $29,491 |

Whether a show pencils at these numbers depends on the guarantee and cost base, not the gross — break-even is the number that decides.
