Understanding the Complimentary Ticket Allocation
For clarity, the budget records ticket income of BDT 530,100, calculated as 589 attendees × BDT 900. It also includes BDT 154,800 for 172 complimentary tickets as an expense allocation.
These complimentary tickets covered WPCC participants, speakers, organizers, sponsors, and volunteers. Their value is shown separately so readers can understand how complimentary attendance is represented in the budget; it should not be interpreted as a separate cash payment to those participants.
The Remaining Balance
After accounting for all recorded income and expenses, the event closed with a surplus of BDT 29,535. This remaining balance will be carried forward and allocated toward the next Campus Connect event.
