Add another $400,000 fixed costs for other expenses such as ticket takers, parking attendants, advertising, and so on. The promoter also shares in sales of T-shirts and memorabilia for which the promoter will net over $7 million during the tour. From a successful Rolling Stones' tour, the promoter will net $35 million. If the promoter of the Rolling Stone concerts includes revenue from the sale of T-shirts and memorabilia into his/her calculations, how much ticket sales revenue is needed to break-even on a concert?
