Large Shows vs. PPV's

[Ishmeal Insane]

In my format for my new ROH diary, I am running only like 4 PPV's and the rest of the monthly shows are large shows. Are these large shows like house shows, or TV shows? I don't want to book towards them and promote them only for them to not be seen by anyone. I don't know anything about file editing, arsenic or the like, as I've only done a bit of reading on this, so I don't know if anything like that would help if it were a non-tv show that I wanted to make a TV show.


Oh, and I'm using EWR 4.2

There are no buyrates or TV numbers for Large Shows or smaller. Just attendance and gate numbers. So I believe they are only seen by the people that paid to be there.

Dan is correct. Think of them as a house show with the clout of Clash Of The Champions: you only make money off ticket sales, but they're usually higher-attended than weekly shows, and have better match-ups than the weekly TV.

If your PPV ends up in the black financially speaking, I'd say move to an all-PPV format as soon as financially feasible. No sense in leaving money on the table.

It's like those "house shows" that ROH runs that aren't aired on TV and are only available on DVD/VOD.

Although, I have to agree with Jed. If you are making money off PPV's, run those instead of large events. It's not realistic but more money never hurts.

You can treat the PPV money as the VOD/DVD royalties if you want to have them instory as non-ppv.
