Peckham Fringe Guarantee and Box Office Split
There is no fee to take part in Peckham Fringe instead we work with a guarantee to Theatre Peckham and then a box office split.
We have a scalable box office split module which means the more tickets that are sold the better the financial deal. Our guarantee of £200 per show for the Main Theatre and £100 for the Studio will enable Theatre Peckham to be open and supply a duty manager, the front of house team and one duty technician for your production. You do not have to pay this amount upfront, this amount will be deducted from box office sales.
Once the £200 or £100 has been reached we will then split the remaining box office revenue between yourself and Theatre Peckham in the below percentages. The table below show how the box office will be split and to who.
| TICKET SALES | BOX OFFICE SPLIT |
| MAIN STAGE | |
| 85% or above | 70% Artist / 30% Theatre Peckham |
