[QUOTE="Charlie Zureki, post: 47822, member: 153"] Re: Production cost rule of thumb on ticket sale ? Hmm.. this is usually best determined by the Promoter or Show Producer. Most Promoters are not willing to share that information with anyone, except possibly during contract negotiations with an Act that's in demand. Many times the Group/Artist will have a performance minimum or % of the gross receipts less the Merch. Also, the ticket x price per ticket, sounds like an easy way to calculate a gross ticket sale, but, it is usually not that simple. Often, some tickets are comp'd (for guests, radio/Tv contest winners) or sold at "pre-sale" prices, or sold in blocks of tickets that are discounted to ticket sellers. Of course there's also the unsold tickets. Many times the ticket prices are tiered... or graduated in price. Some seats are more expensive (the first xx of rows, balcony rail center, box seats, etc..) and some are very much lower in price (nose bleed balcony or last rows of the Main Floor). Also...if you're renting a system for a Monday,Tuesday or Wednesday night, you might bid slightly less, as there's less work available those nights and more gear sitting around per less demand.
