Imported Face ValueWhat those imported tickets sold for. Shown for reference; never added into Gross or Net
DiscountsPromo code and other discounts on Noctern sales
RefundsMoney returned to buyers on Noctern sales
FeesEverything buyers paid on top of ticket price and tax: Noctern's service and card fees, ticket delivery fees, day-of-show upcharges, and your own box office fee
GrossFace value of the Noctern tickets
NetYour venue's ticket revenue — what the tickets earned you after discounts, with fees and tax left out

Rows are listed by date, with one TOTAL row at the end. A performance that has both Noctern and imported tickets has an arrow at the left; click it to see the two parts separately.

Draft events never appear. A cancelled or archived performance appears only if it had tickets, a refund, or money, and is labelled as cancelled or archived.

Summary tiles

Above the table, tiles total the whole selection: Performances, Capacity, Paid, Comp, Imported tickets, Sold, Discounts, Refunds, Fees, Gross, Net, Imported face value and Noctern gross.

Imported tickets count as real seats in Total Sold and % Sold, but they add nothing to Gross or Net. If a show looks fuller than its revenue suggests, imported tickets are the likely reason.
