What 3,000 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% (3,000 tickets) | $90,000 | $135,000 | $195,000 |
| 85% (2,550 tickets) | $76,500 | $114,750 | $165,750 |
| 70% (2,100 tickets) | $63,000 | $94,500 | $136,500 |
Whether a show pencils at these numbers depends on the guarantee and cost base, not the gross — break-even is the number that decides.
