Settlement & post-run review

Settlements checked, a full reconciliation and lessons for the next show.

Timing

When we come in

Ideally a few weeks before the run ends, so we can agree with the venue what the settlement will need and avoid surprises.

We can also step in after closing if a settlement is already under way or in dispute.

What we need

What we need from you and the venue

  • The venue contract
  • The weekly box office and settlement statements
  • Agent and ticketing reports
  • The comps and house seat records
  • Any marketing or ticketing costs charged against the show

FAQs

Common questions

Why would I need someone to check a settlement?

Settlements are complex, and small errors in VAT, commissions, charges or comps add up. An independent check means you sign off figures you understand.

Do you deal with the venue directly?

Yes, if you want us to. We can raise queries and agree corrections with the venue's finance team on your behalf.

What does the post-run review cover?

Sales against forecast, how each channel and price point performed, how quickly the show sold, and what drove the peaks and troughs.

Is this only for West End runs?

No. It works for any run or tour, and it's especially useful when the same show is going back out and you want the next run to sell better.
