Event funding model

Choose a total admission count, pass mix, and event add-on quantities to see the full receipt path, the obligations carried at that count, and how new funds are allocated after break even.

Paid costs, receipts, and budgeted commitments

Organizer-approved public ledger as of August 5, 2026. The record column distinguishes receipts currently on file from organizer-reported payments whose receipt record is still pending. “Known item total” includes the full $1,000 minimum for each artist with a disclosed $500 advance. Those advances reduce the balance due; they do not increase artist cost. Source documents are retained privately and are not linked from this public page.

Full financial waterfall

Every receipt and every listed obligation is applied once in order below. The running balance makes both an amount still to cover and a positive net position visible rather than hiding either one.

Waterfall stepBasisMovementRunning balance
Net position after every listed obligation$0.00

Net reconciliation: $0.00 remains to be covered at these inputs; when the model is fully covered, the positive net is $0.00. That positive net separates into a $0.00 first-coverage transition margin retained in the event budget plus the post-break-even allocation shown next.

Funds added after break even

Only the incremental net funds created by admissions after the first fully covered ticket are allocated here; the separate first-coverage transition margin is disclosed above. Main Stage floors remain fixed costs in first coverage. Every Thursday-through-Sunday slot has a distinct published curve position that rises from early to late, with Saturday at 10:30 PM as the unique peak. Friday and Sunday each carry the same total curve weight, while Thursday is slightly lighter. Existing booking terms still control payment: Schmux at Friday 10:30 PM keeps a $1,000 guarantee and can receive up to $229 more, for a $1,229 sellout ceiling; G-Space at Saturday 10:30 PM keeps a $1,000 guarantee and can receive up to $489 more, for a $1,489 sellout ceiling. The other six evening slots—including the current $1,750 Thursday takeover working allocation funded by Reeguez Rocks—receive fixed modeled floors 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 artist and time slot

Expected payouts update with the current simulator inputs. The complete curve has 36 unique multipliers: each day rises from its earliest slot to its latest; Friday and Sunday each total 5.70× of curve weight; Thursday is slightly lower at 5.48×; and Saturday reaches 6.09×, peaking at 1.15× for 10:30 PM. The 28 daytime slots use their curve weights to share the residual artist allocation. Schmux at Friday 10:30 PM has a $1,000 hard-cost guarantee, then a capped ramp of no more than $229 additional pay and a $1,229 total at sellout. G-Space at the Saturday 10:30 PM curve peak has the same $1,000 guarantee, then a capped ramp of no more than $489 additional pay and a $1,489 total at sellout. The other six evening slots show their curve positions but receive fixed guarantees only under current terms. The paid-to-date column records the two disclosed $500 advances. Every expected total and remaining balance will move when the admission mix, add-ons, documented costs, or booking terms change; these curve weights are working allocation rules and will be revised as costs and agreements become more firmly labeled. A fixed guarantee changes only if its agreement changes. This is a funding model, not an official performance schedule or booking offer. 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.
  • Payment processing 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. The line never falls below the $17.50 already paid.
  • 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. The model separately shows any amount by which the disclosed $119.33 Codex spend exceeds the Operations accrual, so the current plan-versus-actual variance is visible. 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 floors and signed guarantees are modeled as fixed hard costs. Eligible artist compensation above those floors 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. The published curve orders all 36 Bowl slots, while fixed floors and the two disclosed headliner caps override weighted-pool participation where stated.
  • An outside festival partner supports booking for the Thursday takeover, but Reeguez Rocks carries the current ideal split of $1,000 for its headliner and $750 for direct support inside the $7,000 artist-floor total. Final artists and terms remain pending.
  • The $70 LLC filing, two $500 artist advances, $17.50 processing fees, and $119.33 Operations expense are status details inside their parent obligations. They are not added again on top of those obligations.
  • Medical services use a $6,700 planning estimate for continuous Tuesday-noon-to-Tuesday-noon coverage. The provider name is intentionally withheld until the terms are ready for publication.
  • All calculations use whole cents, and every displayed allocation reconciles exactly.
