As you can see your potential revenue from the night based on only selling the above,
and based on 500 Ticket Sales is in the region of €30,000+

You can substantially increase this amount by selling additional Tickets, Ads, and by some Contestants raising far in advance of target.
Remember – have a Prize for the Contestant who raises the most – Have a Prize plus a Presentation to that person.
