My contract says my seating is limited to a certain number, can I sell more?

The royalties are based on how many tickets your group is making available for sale and what you are charging for tickets. On our applications, we ask for the house size as well as the expected attendance. When we calculate the royalties, we base it on the expected attendance because we do not charge a royalty on a seat that will not be made available. When you receive a contract offer, it will show what seating and ticket prices the quoted royalty rate is based on. The seating limitation that the royalty rate is based on is as an average. So, you may sell more at some performances and less at other performances as long as the average does not exceed the seating limitation. If you begin selling tickets and find that you would be able to sell more seats, you would be contractually obligated to contact us and let us know how many more seats you would like to make available for sale. We can then recalculate what the new royalty rate should be, based on the increased seating, and let you know. Once you have paid the adjusted royalty rate, you would then be able to begin selling the increased number of seats.
