Revenue model

1. Ticket sales: The festival generates revenue primarily through ticket sales for concerts under the main chapiteau (tent), with tickets purchased via internet, phone, and on-site box office. Internet purchases are subject to booking fees.
2. Patronage and Sponsorship: The festival operates a Partners Club (Club des Partenaires) that includes patrons, sponsors, and institutional partners who support the festival through financial contributions. Since the 2003 French law on patronage, associations and foundations, this initiative has attracted growing numbers of business companies and individuals who can benefit from tax exemptions.
3. Online boutique: An online store (fanavenue.com) sells merchandise and potentially programs.
