What is Radio City Music Hall's concert capacity?
Radio City Music Hall in New York has a concert capacity of 5,960. That number sets the ceiling on gross potential before comps and per-ticket fees come out.

What 5,960 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$45 ticket$75 ticket$125 ticket
100% (5,960 tickets)$268,200$447,000$745,000
85% (5,066 tickets)$227,970$379,950$633,250
70% (4,172 tickets)$187,740$312,900$521,500

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