Budget estimate

$340,000 – $3,400,000

Because the solicitation provides no fixed budget, we estimate based on the venue’s 5,100‑seat capacity, an assumed average of 12 shows per season, and an average ticket price of $55. Gross ticket revenue per season would be roughly $5.1 M × 12 × $55 ≈ $3.4 M. Assuming the contractor receives a combined production, ticketing, and sponsorship‑revenue share of roughly 10‑20 % of gross revenue, annual earnings could range from $340 k to $680 k. Over the five‑year base term, the total contract value would therefore be approximately $1.7 M – $3.4 M. Factors influencing the range include the actual number of shows, ticket pricing tiers, sponsorship revenue, and the level of services (e.g., premium VIP packages).
