Israeli singer Itay Levy is set to perform at the Menora Mivtachim Arena in Tel Aviv on Thursday, an event expected to draw approximately 11,000 attendees. Ticket prices range from 199 to 399 shekels. If the venue is at full capacity with an average ticket price of 273 shekels, gross revenue from ticket sales could reach around 3 million shekels.
However, significant expenses will reduce this amount. Value Added Tax (VAT) of 18% accounts for roughly 458,000 shekels. Ticket sales and processing fees are estimated between 5% and 7% of the turnover, totaling 150,000 to 210,000 shekels. Copyright payments could add another 120,000 shekels.
Production costs are also substantial. Renting the venue, security, ushers, and cleaning services are estimated at 300,000 shekels. Lighting, sound systems, LED screens, and special effects may cost an additional 450,000 shekels. Artistic expenses, including musicians, dancers, rehearsals, and musical arrangements, are projected at 250,000 shekels, with advertising and marketing budgeted at 150,000 shekels.
Based on these estimates, the operating profit from the concert is expected to be around 1 million shekels before further profit distribution and taxes. Industry estimates suggest that Levy's net profit after accounting for personal managers, production companies, booking agents, and income tax deductions will be approximately 450,000 shekels for the evening. This substantial income solidifies Levy's position as a highly profitable and stable artist in the Israeli music industry.
Recently, Levy also drew attention for his luxury watch, a rare platinum Rolex Cosmograph Daytona with an "Ice Blue" dial and a brown ceramic bezel. He customized it with a light blue rubber strap, and the watch is valued at around 400,000 shekels.
