Break even is usually 50% no?

So if they average 4500 and have sold a few VIP packages they should be OK.

I did some Safety Advisory Group planning for Ministry of Sound at Knebworth way back, pretty sure they lost a fucking packet on that weekend, less than 25% sold IIRC because MoS tried to do it all in house rather than hire a proper festival planner/promoter.

I also did a few bits for the Oasis and Robbie Williams shows, professionally planned by big names in the festival industry. Much tougher negotiators but they knew way better than us on the SAG how to put on a big profitable safe event.

There are plenty of people who think they know how to put on such events and find out the hard way...
