German term or phrase:Masettenwert

Bus/Financial - Finance (general)
German term or phrase: Masettenwert
This term only seems to come up in connection with the Wiener Staatsoper and in the following context:

"Die Besucheranzahl (ohne Führungen), die Anzahl der Vorstellungen, die Erlöse aus dem Kartenverkauf, die Auslastung und die Ertragsauslastung — das ist der Quotient der tatsächlich erzielten Erlöse und des möglichen Erlöses aus dem Kartenverkauf (Masettenwert) — entwickelten sich von 2011/12 bis 2014/15 wie folgt:"

Does anybody know if there is an equivalent term for this concept with regard to theatres in the UK/US? I need something concise for a software interface, rather than a long explanation.

Thanks!

max box office
Explanation:
No idea if the same concept is used in the US market but the term apparently means the maximum possible revenue if all tickets are sold at full price. So something like max box office, max potential revenue, etc.
