What 16,888 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% (16,888 tickets)$759,960$1,266,600$2,111,000
85% (14,355 tickets)$645,966$1,076,610$1,794,350
70% (11,822 tickets)$531,972$886,620$1,477,700

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