This will be carried out in conjunction with the venue in-house marketing team.We expect the budget for the requirements expected of the producer to be met by the share of ticket income agreed by both parties. We estimate the contract value to be around £250,000 annually however this will be dependent on final ticket sales and the financial deal agreed.We would expect audience attendance to increase year on year, with a target of between 90%-95% capacity per annum, and ambition for achieving 100% capacity. Gross box office income should increase by a minimum of 5% per year and pricing strategies should maximise yield potential.
