Most promoters only think about two of them. + +**1\. Ticket sales.** Your primary lever. We price between $20 and $40 for standard events, with tiered pricing up to $70 for headliner shows. After platform fees, the average ticket nets about $27.50. We target 200 ticket sales from ads alone, with the rest coming from SMS and word of mouth. + +**2\. Door sales.** Cash and card at the door. At our Brooklyn Monarch debut, door revenue alone hit $5,000. This is unpredictable money, but it adds up. + +**3\. Bar revenue.** This is where venues make their money, and where your relationship with the venue lives or dies. Bar spend per customer runs $15 to $32 depending on the crowd. At our best events, bar has cleared $13,000 to $20,000 in a single night. At our worst, we barely hit the $4,000 minimum. + +**4\. Vendor fees.** Merch vendors, tattoo artists, clothing brands. Standard fee is $250 per table at 12-hour events. +Diff truncated (66 lines total). View full commit on GitHub →
