What 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 | $20 ticket | $30 ticket | $45 ticket |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100% (800 tickets) | $16,000 | $24,000 | $36,000 |
| 85% (680 tickets) | $13,600 | $20,400 | $30,600 |
| 70% (560 tickets) | $11,200 | $16,800 | $25,200 |
Whether a show pencils at these numbers depends on the guarantee and cost base, not the gross — break-even is the number that decides.
