The year-over-year report puts two seasons or two performances side by side so you can see where this year differs from last year.
Open the Reports hub (Reports in the admin sidebar) and click Year-over-year under Sales & attendance.
Choosing what to compare
Two tabs at the top set the mode:
- Compare seasons — pick Season A and Season B from your venue's seasons. The report opens this way, with your previous season against your current one already run.
- Compare performances — pick Performance A and Performance B from the list of performances, for example last year's run of a show against this year's.
Switching tabs starts that mode again with its own default pair. After changing either dropdown, click Run.
You need at least two seasons set up to compare seasons, and at least two performances on the calendar to compare performances. Seasons are set in the Reporting: Seasons & Lifecycle card — open your venue from Manage Venues, then Edit details.
Reading the table
The table has one row per measure and five columns: Metric, one column for each side, Δ, and % change.
- Δ is side B minus side A.
- % change is that difference as a percent of side A. It is blank when side A is zero.
The rows are named in shorthand:
| Row | What it is |
|---|---|
capacity | Total capacity |
paid | Tickets the buyer paid for |
comp | Comp tickets |
external | Tickets imported from your previous ticketing system |
sold | Paid + comp + imported |
pctSold | Percent of capacity sold |
grossRevenue | Face value of Noctern tickets |
netRevenue | Your venue's ticket revenue |
pmGross | Face value of imported tickets — shown for reference, never added into revenue |
These are the same measures as the Performance summary. Discounts, refunds, fees, held and available seats are not compared here.
When a season includes imported history, its column heading says so.

This report is most useful once both sides are finished. For a show that is still on sale, the Sell-through & Pace marketing report shows how sales are tracking.
