FAQ
How is "cost per song" calculated?
Cost per song = total trip cost ÷ estimated number of songs in the show. Song count is estimated from a default average song length (≈4.5 min) × typical show length adjusted by era.
How do you estimate jam minutes?Jam minutes are estimated from era-specific jam density (percentage of total show time). Holiday/festival boosts add a small uplift to jam minutes.
