What 17,805 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% (17,805 tickets) | $801,225 | $1,335,375 | $2,225,625 |
| 85% (15,134 tickets) | $681,041 | $1,135,069 | $1,891,781 |
| 70% (12,464 tickets) | $560,858 | $934,763 | $1,557,938 |
Whether a show pencils at these numbers depends on the guarantee and cost base, not the gross — break-even is the number that decides.
