Funds added after break even

Only the incremental net funds created by admissions after the break-even ticket are allocated here. Main Stage guarantees remain fixed costs in first coverage. Friday at 10:30 PM keeps its $1,000 guarantee and can receive up to $229 more from this same post-cost artist allocation, for a $1,229 sellout ceiling. Saturday at 10:30 PM keeps its $1,000 guarantee and can receive up to $489 more, for a $1,489 sellout ceiling. The other six Main Stage headliner and direct-support slots receive fixed guarantees only. Eligible artists receive 60% until their combined above-guarantee allocation reaches $10,000; the artist share above that ceiling is redirected to the Experience fund. The remaining 40% is split evenly between Experience and Operations.

Expected Bowl payout by time slot

Expected payouts update with the current simulator inputs. Friday at 10:30 PM has a $1,000 hard-cost guarantee, then ramps within the post-cost artist allocation to no more than $229 additional pay and a $1,229 total at sellout. Saturday at 10:30 PM has the same $1,000 guarantee, then ramps to no more than $489 additional pay and a $1,489 total at sellout. The 28 daytime slots share the remaining artist allocation using the established default time ratios. The other six evening slots receive fixed guarantees only. Artist-share funds above the overall $10,000 ceiling move to the Experience fund. This is a modeled funding timetable, not an official performance schedule, booking offer, contract, or record of money already paid. No K Lodge payout slots are active in this model.

Assumptions and boundaries

  • The untouched simulator is a forward projection from completed live ticket sales: it uses the current admission count and pass mix, then projects unedited add-ons at their completed units-per-admission rates. It is labeled “Projected”; changing the admission count, mix, or any add-on changes the label to “Modeled.” Before live data loads, or when no admissions have sold, it uses the expected fallback mix of 10% 4-day, 60% 3-day, and 30% 2-day. 10% 4-Day Pass · 60% 3-Day Pass · 30% 2-Day Pass is currently used.
  • Expected referral use is 30%. A referred admission receives 5% buyer savings and carries a $5 community referral commission.
  • Referral buyer savings and commissions apply only to admissions, never to add-ons.
  • Stripe is modeled at 2.9% of all charged admission and add-on receipts. For a conservative flat-fee estimate, every admission and every selected add-on unit is treated as its own $0.30 order.
  • Active event add-ons use current catalog prices and limits. Inactive items and merchandise are excluded.
  • Each selected cabin carries its documented $250 venue obligation. No separate direct obligation is assigned to another add-on without a current source.
  • Each completed live add-on quantity is converted to a units-per-admission acquisition rate. Unedited add-ons project forward, round to whole units, and stop at inventory limits during the first-break-even search. An edited add-on uses its entered fixed quantity.
  • The $10 per-admission Experience & Operations obligation is split evenly: $5 to the Experience fund and $5 to the Operations fund. After break even, Experience and Operations each receive 20% of new funds. The separate $5 per-admission Contingency obligation remains fully covered before break even and receives no additional post-break-even share.
  • Artist guarantees are fixed hard costs. Eligible artist compensation above those guarantees receives 60% of post-break-even funds until it reaches a $10,000 ceiling. Every dollar from that 60% share above the ceiling is redirected to the Experience fund.
  • All calculations use whole cents, and every displayed allocation reconciles exactly.
