[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s an event in DC where it’s not uncommon to have a $5,000 room rental fee, $5,000 food and beverage minimum plus audio visual, DJ or band and decor costs for an off-site event. These events can’t really be compared cost-wise to homecomings held at the school site. [/quote]

Walls has their dances off-site and tickets are $20ish dollars. And they're not subsidized; I think the school raises money from them.[/quote]

Costs are very venue dependent. One of the venues used by Walls charges schools and nonprofits $750 for an evening rental with no food/beverage minimum. I'm not saying that explains the differences between the venue costs and the ticket prices for Walls and BASIS as I don't know.

I have been responsible for high school events though and the larger high school I worked with supplemented their student activities with funds they earned from sports. They brought in enough from ticket sales to games and concession sales to offset the costs of dances and other student activities.[/quote]
