COMMERCIAL RENTAL: $2,000 per day or 12% of gross ticket receipts after taxes, whichever is greater. $3,000 flat rate for events generating revenue beyond the control of the VBC. $2,500 flat rate for events with no traditional revenue generated.

NON-COMMERCIAL RENTAL: $1,500 per day or 10% of gross ticket receipts after taxes, whichever is greater. $3,000 flat rate for events generating revenue beyond the control of the VBC. $2,500 flat rate for events with no traditional revenue generated.

NON-COMMERCIAL RENTAL: Applies to qualified religious, charitable or educational organizations where no admission is charged, no fee is taken, no collection is made or no revenue is derived. Local non-profit organizations that charge admission, take fees, collections or derive revenue may qualify for the non-commercial rental.

Rental Rates: includes lighting, heating and/or air conditioning and water as installed. With the exception of basic production sound and lighting equipment, all labor, supplies and equipment are considered additional expenses and will be charged at rates as outlined in the EQUIPMENT, STAFFING AND SERVICES SHEETS.

Move-in/Move-out and rehearsal dates are calculated at sixty percent (60%) of the normal daily rental rates.

Insurance can be obtained by the VBC at the applicable rate.

When the Von Braun Center Box Office does not control all ticket sales for the Lessee in order that accurate rent can be calculated or when there is no admission charge, a flat rate will apply. Flat rate rental schedules are available through the Executive Director's office.
