Walks through ticket counts, gross revenue, allowable expenses (production, advertising, ticketing, hospitality), and the resulting payout to the artist. On guaranteed shows settlement confirms the guarantee minus any agreed deductions. On versus deals it calculates the head-to-head. Typically signed by both parties on-site after the show, with the artist's balance wired or handed over as a check before the bus leaves.
