| *Each of the above categories can vary widely from show to show based on the market, venue, ticket price, and actual attendance. However, the figures listed above are averages (accurate to the nearest 0.001 dollars) based on data collected from every event produced by BigTime Entertainment, LLC from January 1 to August 31, 2006. |
**23.4 cents on the dollar is the average for what a band receives from THEIR FANS' ticket money. A band's payment is never affected by how well or how poorly the other bands on the bill draw. Each band's payment for a given event is directly correlated to that particular band's ticket sales for that particular event.
Actual Band Payment is always calculated in the following manner--regardless of market, venue, ticket price, or total show attendance: Each band is paid based on their actual draw for the night, according to BigTime's sliding payment schedule. 0-34 is $1 per ticket, 35-49 is $1.50 per ticket, 50+ is $2 per ticket, 73+ is $2.50 per ticket, 86+ is $3.50 per ticket, and 100+ is $4 per ticket.
Since ticket prices for BigTime events range from $7-10 (depending on the market and venue) and every band that plays a BigTime show is paid according to the above schedule, bands are never paid less than 10 cents on every dollar that their fans spend purchasing tickets and in some cases are paid as much as 57.1 cents on every dollar of their fans ticket purchases. Again, 23.4 cents on the dollar is the average band payment from the ticket sales that a band generates. |
