I wonder how performers are compensated from concert sales. Do they just get a cut of the gross, or do they basically have to pay occupancy costs, some of which might be determined by headcount.

You can make any kind of contract both parties agree on,
but theater owners would be leasing ‘on spec’ if they charged by head count, assuming part of the performer’s risk that he’s not as big a draw as he thinks. Most non-desperate owners aren’t in the risk business.
