A show where revenue isn't driven by advance ticket sales but by door takings and bar revenue on the night. Common at nightclubs, lounges, and casino lounges where the venue is open regardless of who's playing. Artist compensation is typically a guarantee plus a percentage of door, with no settlement tied to ticket counts. Soft-ticket settlements look different from hard-ticket: there's no ticket-count reconciliation; instead it's a nightly cash count. Distinct from hard-ticket shows at clubs, theaters, and arenas.
