What 1,800 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% (1,800 tickets) | $54,000 | $81,000 | $117,000 |
| 85% (1,530 tickets) | $45,900 | $68,850 | $99,450 |
| 70% (1,260 tickets) | $37,800 | $56,700 | $81,900 |
Whether a show pencils at these numbers depends on the guarantee and cost base, not the gross — break-even is the number that decides.
