A Music Tour Break-Even Calculator"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Touring can grow an audience, deepen fan relationships and create revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can also burn through cash remarkably quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before booking five, twenty or fifty dates, calculate the basic economics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Add your fixed tour costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are costs that exist regardless of whether twenty people or two hundred people attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>van hire;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>flights;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>visas;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>equipment rental;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>crew retainers;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>rehearsals;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>insurance;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>production preparation;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>merchandise setup.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Call this Fixed Costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Add per-show costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These change with the number of dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>hotels;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>fuel;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>parking;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>tolls;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>catering;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>local transport;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>venue deductions;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>per diems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Multiply the average per-show cost by the number of shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fixed Costs + Total Show Costs = Total Tour Cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Add guaranteed income<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some shows provide a fixed guarantee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Others use:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>ticket splits;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>door deals;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>guarantee versus percentage;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>festival fees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only count money you reasonably expect to receive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not build a break-even plan around every show selling out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Estimate merch profit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use profit, not revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you sell a T-shirt for \u00a325 and it costs \u00a39 to manufacture and process, your contribution is not \u00a325.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is closer to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a325 \u2013 \u00a39 = \u00a316<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">before any venue merch commission or tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Estimate conservatively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Calculate your remaining gap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Total Tour Cost<br>minus Guaranteed\/Expected Show Income<br>minus Expected Net Merch Income<br>= Remaining Amount to Break Even<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suppose:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Total cost = \u00a34,000<br>Guaranteed fees = \u00a31,500<br>Expected net merch profit = \u00a31,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You still need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a31,500<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 6: Convert the gap into required ticket sales<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your effective artist income from each additional ticket is \u00a36 after the venue deal:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a31,500 \u00f7 \u00a36 = 250 tickets<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Across five shows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">250 \u00f7 5 = 50 additional tickets per show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now you have a useful question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Can we realistically sell 50 tickets per city?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is much better than:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI reckon the tour will be fine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Add contingency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tours go wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Budget for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>vehicle repairs;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>cancelled accommodation;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>broken equipment;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>missed transport;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>illness;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>delayed settlements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A budget that reaches zero if everything goes perfectly is not a safe budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cash flow matters separately from profitability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A tour can be profitable overall and still create a cash problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may need to pay:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>flights;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>hotels;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>merch production;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">weeks before ticket money arrives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Track when money leaves and when money arrives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Include merch properly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">RouteNote recently highlighted the finances published by Los Campesinos!, whose tour example showed just how dramatically merchandise can change touring economics. Their reported show income alone did not cover the run, while merchandise turned the overall result positive. <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/los-campesinos-merch-importance\/\">RouteNote<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That does not mean every tour needs to sell thousands of shirts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It means merch deserves its own forecast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consider indirect value<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A tour can still be strategically worthwhile even when the direct profit is modest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Benefits may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>fan growth;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>content;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>press;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>streaming uplift;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>promoter relationships;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>merch customers;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>email signups.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But do not hide a bad financial model behind the word \u201cexposure\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Know what you are intentionally investing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use three scenarios<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Build:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conservative<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lower ticket sales, lower merch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Expected<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your best evidence-based estimate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strong<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good but realistic upside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the tour only survives in the strong scenario, rethink it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Touring should be creative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The spreadsheet should be boring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Know the fixed costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Know the guaranteed income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Know the ticket gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Know how much cash you need before leaving home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then decide whether the opportunity is worth the risk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Touring can grow an audience, deepen fan relationships and create revenue.
