Example of the Accounting for Ticketing & Misc. Recovery

A General Ledger account for Ticketing Recovery is available. If Ticketing and Miscellaneous cost recovery is in use, a GL account should be set up.

  • List Selling Price = $1.00
  • Discount to Customer = 10%
  • Ticketing and Misc. Pricing Component = $0.10
  • Net Price to the Customer = $0.90 ($1.00 less 10%)
  • Effective Discount is 20% for discount testing as well as Commission and Royalty calculation purposes
    (List Price of $1.00 less Selling Price of 0.90 plus Ticketing & Misc. Pricing component of $0.10 compared with list price of $1.00)
    ($1.00 - 0.90 + 0.10 )/ 1.00 = 20%

  • Ticketing and Misc. Cost Component = $0.08
  • Product Unit Cost = $0.50

  • Consider a Sale of 480 units:
  • Line Extension = 480 x $0.90 = $432.00
  • Ticketing Component included in Price = 480 x $0.10 = $48.00 (this has no account impact)
  • Product Cost = 480 x $0.50 = $240.00
  • Ticketing Cost = 480 x $0.08 = $38.40
  • Total Cost of Sales = $278.40 (=$240.00 + $38.40)
