1. For tickets where a charge is made for admission, the royalty fee is 2.5% of Gross Receipts, subject to minimum of $150 per show.

2. For complimentary tickets (i.e. tickets which bear no printed value, have charges but are waived or otherwise resulting in no charge being actually made for admission)

• • Each complimentary ticket issued shall be subject to a royalty charge based on two and a half per centum (2.5%) of the lowest full (undiscounted) commercial (“Lowest Category”) ticket price.
  • The Lowest Category ticket price means the lowest printed ticket value among all the ticket price categories of that entertainment covered by the permit, subject to (i) the Lowest Category being allotted at least 5% out of the total number of printed tickets made available for general public sales for that show; and (ii) should the Lowest Category not be allotted at least 5% out of the total number of printed tickets made available for general public sales for that show, the Lowest Category shall be based on the next lowest ticket price category of that show covered by the permit or the minimum of $45.00 per ticket, whichever is the higher.
  • However, the Society shall grant a goodwill concession for the number of complimentary tickets for each show where such number of complimentary tickets does not exceed 10% of the tickets sold for that show provided that the Applicant has shown good compliance with copyright requirements, e.g. where the Applicant and/or its related entities do not have outstanding permit fees, licence fees, programme details and/or ticket sales reports owed to Society.
