What 507 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 | $20 ticket | $30 ticket | $45 ticket |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100% (507 tickets) | $10,140 | $15,210 | $22,815 |
| 85% (431 tickets) | $8,619 | $12,929 | $19,393 |
| 70% (355 tickets) | $7,098 | $10,647 | $15,970 |
Whether a show pencils at these numbers depends on the guarantee and cost base, not the gross — break-even is the number that decides.
