Common card · No. 220989

Gate receipts, or simply "gate", is the sum of money taken at a sporting venue for the sale of tickets. Traditionally, gate receipts were largely or entirely taken in cash. Today, many sporting venues will operate a season ticket scheme, which means they allocate a proportion of season ticket monies when announcing gate receipts for a particular event. "Gate" is also sometimes used in reference to the number of people in attendance.
