Press Photos, Stage Plots, Audio/Video & Tech Riders

Guarantees, Door Splits & Stripe Express Payouts
Here is how common venue deal types translate into your night-of payout:
You get a fixed dollar amount (for example, $400) whether 30 people or 200 people buy tickets.
After agreed room/sound costs ("house nut") are covered, you receive a set percentage of the remaining ticket pool.
You are promised a minimum guarantee, OR the percentage split if the show sells well — whichever number is higher.
