Admission set by the audience: whose fee is guaranteed

Realistic synthesis
The people, events, figures, and contract terms are a synthetic premise. They are not statements of real cases or of current law. The source documents are the roots of the background and the norms and do not establish the premises of the scenario.
The question to decide
Letting the audience set the admission price can open the door to people kept away by cost, but the performers' preparation and travel costs stay the same. If the venue guarantees a minimum fee and runs a deficit, funds for the next performance shrink. How should admission and fee be agreed so that the audience's burden and the risk of short income are shared?
