>Figure an AEW TV taping costs ~$600k.
>~5000 tickets at ~$50 ea. generates ~$250k.
>Merch ~$14 per cap, adds $70k.
>TV would be a loss w/o media revenue (TV/PPV) putting it well over.
>House shows would certainly run at lesser cost, maybe smaller venues, definitely lower production cost, but not clear to me it can be done profitably without ticket sales higher than what AEW currently draws for TV, which there's no reason to expect, more likely the opposite.
