The price per person with my rates is the price of a large cornbeef sandwich at some eateries in the city. The price per group being the price of a single Kobe beef burger (I think). This is a city where you can get a $1,000 omlette.

There are a lot of companies/corporations, gamers, and wealthy socialites that I can market to.

Off-Broadway and Broadway shows are all performed by seasoned professionals with loads of experience and sometimes have huge expensive sets and a long list of past achievements that draw in the patrons. A person that visits a theatrical event is looking for, and expecting, an entirely different experience than you are offering.

The only way to accurately compare relative prices for things, is if the things being sold are similar things. Its not as simple as lumping your services into Entertainment with an off-broadway show.

Also, have you considered the fact that, while there ARE a lot of companies and wealthy socialites you can market to, they aren't your target market in the first place?

I cannot think of ONE company that would hire you for team building skills with your resume. You would need to have years of experience, have team building certifications, and likely have an extensive existing client list.

And how would wealthy socialites be interested in your services in the first place?

Are you an entertainer, a game facilitator or a team development business professional?

Targeting your company's success at below poverty rates is not likely to be a strong financial move.

If you plan on teaching/training military professional on teamwork and strategy, or even war games, you better be an educated, ex-military or academic with loads of credentials.
