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.
