What 8,400 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% (8,400 tickets) | $378,000 | $630,000 | $1,050,000 |
| 85% (7,140 tickets) | $321,300 | $535,500 | $892,500 |
| 70% (5,880 tickets) | $264,600 | $441,000 | $735,000 |
Whether a show pencils at these numbers depends on the guarantee and cost base, not the gross — break-even is the number that decides.
