Odio City Manager RECOIL MMDATION: DATE: 0 CT 17 1988 FILE. SUBJECT. Resolution to Approve Contract: Fantasma Productions' Novelty Rebates REFERENCES: ENCLOSURES: It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement, in the attached form, with Fantasma Produtions, Inc. requiring said promoter to produce at least three (3) concerts within a one-year period at City of Miami stadiums in return for a rebate of the City's revenue from concert novelty sales. BACKGROUND: The Department of Parks, Recreation and Public Facilities has prepared the attached legislation concerning a novelty rebate agreement with Fantasma Productions, Inc. Staff has been = negotiating with this promoter to bring more revenue -generating concerts to City stadiums and has obtained their guarantee to = produce at least three (3) such events within a year. The =- concerts are to be held in any of the City's three stadiums, and =_ the George [Michael concert on October 29, 1989 is the first under _ the proposed agreement. In return, the City will rebate a portion of the revenue it receives f=om the sale of novelties to Fantasma for each concert it produces. The portion of novelty revenue to be rebated is variable, depending on fees negotiated with novelty merchandisers for each concert tour. Where the City receives a flat fee (a fixed concession rate based on attendance, such as $1 per cap) from the merchandiser, the City will rebate 25% of the monies it receives to Fantasma. Where the City receives a percentage of gross sales from novelties, we would rebate up to a maximum of five per cent (5%) to Fantasma as follows: if City receives 10% qr more of gross novelty sales, then Fantasma will receive 5% of gross novelty sales or one-half of the City's revenue; if the City receives less' than 10% of gross novelty sales, then City retains 5% of gross novelty sales and Fantasma will receive the balance. Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission page 2 For each concert produced by Fantasma, the City will generate substantial additional revenue from stadium use fees, the ticket surcharge, food and beverage concessions, and parking operations. Anticipated revenue for the three concerts, based on contractual arrangements similar to those negotiated for the George Michael Concert, would be $562,500 ($187,500 x 3), assuming that acts of comparable popularity are booked and that all events are held at the Orange Bowl. The above figure compares favorably with the total revenue figure of $400,000 which the City received last year from three concerts produced by Cellar Door Concerts, Inc. under a similar novelty rebate agreement, the primary difference being the new ticket surcharge. This action .is recommended because these rebate agreements serve as inducements to bring more events into City stadiums in the face of increasing state and local competition from other concert venues. Additionally, every major concert held in a City facility encourages other promoters to bring their shows to us. This item is a companion to the resolution authorizing the terets and agreement with Fantasma Productions, Inc. for the George !Michael Concert. Attachments: Resolution Agreement 88-975
