Definition
GBOR adds up every ticket sold at its face price across all price levels. Taxes, facility fees and ticketing fees are then deducted to reach NBOR, which most deals are calculated on.
Formula
GBOR = Σ (tickets sold at each price × face price)
Worked example
290 tickets at $25 and 190 at $30 is a GBOR of $12,950.
