The Shaded Lantern

Ticket-Revenue Base and Split

The Shaded Lantern receives 60% of admission revenue, and the renting event promoter receives 40%.

This split applies to all paid admission, including advance online sales, tickets purchased at the door, and pay-at-the-door registrations. The split is based on admission revenue—not profit after event expenses. Any deductions must be expressly agreed to in writing by both parties.

Required Ticketing System

Events held under this revenue-sharing agreement must use The Shaded Lantern’s ticketing system, powered by Private Play Party, exclusively for ticketing, registration, and admission payments.

All admission payments—whether made online or at the door—must be processed through this system. Pay-at-the-door registration does not waive this requirement; the corresponding payment must also be completed through the system.

Outside ticketing platforms, direct payment apps, separate payment terminals, and payments collected outside the system are not permitted. Complimentary admissions must also be recorded to maintain complete attendance and sales records.

Revenue Reconciliation

Both parties will use records from The Shaded Lantern’s ticketing system, powered by Private Play Party, to reconcile admission revenue and calculate the 60/40 allocation. Refunds, chargebacks, taxes, and any permitted deductions must be documented and handled according to the agreed settlement terms.

Payouts

Payouts, when events are under a profit-sharing agreement, can only be requested after an event has completed. The processing time for a payout is generally within 2 days.

Events canceled at least 14 days before the scheduled event start date and time are eligible for a full refund of all rental payments, including the security deposit.

For cancellations received less than 14 days before the scheduled event start date and time, the security deposit is non-refundable.

Cancellation timing is based on when the venue receives written notice, using the venue’s local timezone.
