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.
