A per-ticket surcharge venues add on top of the face price, collected at point of sale and retained by the venue. Common at large rooms and arena-tier buildings; rare at clubs. Usually $2–5 per ticket. The FMF doesn't flow into the show's gross box office for the artist's percentage calculation; it's effectively a venue revenue line that sits outside the deal. Buyers must remember to model it when building offers so the headline ticket price doesn't surprise fans.
