In ABOSS, you can choose from five Deal Types to structure your financial agreement for each event. Each deal type can include a Guaranteed Fee and/or a Ticket Percentage, which determine how revenue is calculated and distributed.

1. Deal Types

You can select from the following Deal Types, each determining how the event's revenue will be handled:

  • Flat Fee: A fixed payment, with no revenue from ticket sales.

  • Guarantee: You receive a Guaranteed Fee with a potential upside from ticket sales once the break-even point is reached (Gross Fee + Venue Costs).

  • Guarantee +: You receive a Guaranteed Fee and a percentage of ticket revenue. Venue costs can be included in the break-even calculation.

  • Guarantee vs.: You receive either the Guaranteed Fee or a percentage of ticket revenue—whichever is higher.

  • Door Deal: You receive a percentage of ticket revenue after the break-even point, with no Guaranteed Fee.

2. Guaranteed Fee

The Guaranteed Fee is a base amount that you will receive regardless of ticket sales or other variables. This is included in all deal types except for Flat Fee and Door Deal.

3. Ticket Percentage

For all deal types except Flat Fee, ABOSS allows you to specify a Ticket Percentage. This determines the portion of ticket revenue that goes to the artist and promoter, providing an additional upside beyond the guaranteed compensation.
