So how does it work?
Tickets are likely to range from $20-50 per game, depending on your location, venue costs, and other concerns. So, here’s an example!
You live in Chicago. We can get a venue for $100/hr for up to 50 people. So if we want to do four four-hour games over a weekend, that’s $1600. You’d be responsible for $800 up front.
We propose a weekend of gaming events. Let’s say it’s two runs of Addams Family: Til Death, and two runs of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to ToonTown. Due to player counts, that means max 106 people can play over the weekend. Charging each ticket @ $40 each, you have a net of $4,240. $1600 for the venue comes out of that, you are reimbursed the initial $800. Grimmoire Productions is paid $2,640, which should cover the cost of flights, printing & production, and labor. More expensive venues, more expensive travel, will be reflected in the costs.
You can, of course, also cover the full cost of the event, or price share with friends, or whatever structure works best for you & yours.
