What 7,200 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% (7,200 tickets) | $324,000 | $540,000 | $900,000 |
| 85% (6,120 tickets) | $275,400 | $459,000 | $765,000 |
| 70% (5,040 tickets) | $226,800 | $378,000 | $630,000 |
Whether a show pencils at these numbers depends on the guarantee and cost base, not the gross — break-even is the number that decides.
