In this story:


CINCINNATI — The Bengals and Hamilton County are sharing a split of the revenue from this weekend's big Taylor Swift two-day concert run.

The Enquirer's Scott Wartman confirmed that both sides are getting a cut but the exact amount will depend on a few factors starting with rental costs.

The fee to rent the venue is $150,000 dished out to Hamilton County taxpayers. Ohio Valley Entertainment is paying the fee, which could take a chunk out of the Bengals' expected revenue earnings because the team's Executive Vice President, Katie Blackburn, is listed as the manager of OVE. The exact relationship between OVE and the Bengals is not known but The Enquirer listed OVE as a "subsidiary" of the team.

None of the ticket sales are going to either the county or the team, but they do get to split the revenue from 122 of the 125 Paycor Stadium luxury suites. The concert promoter gets to use the other three.

Revenue from the 8,000 county-owned parking spaces will also get split by the two sides at $75 per space, but the timing of the Reds game on Friday complicates total revenue for each side.

Finally, a cool part of this split is how the county is using their 50 allotted tickets and owned suite in the stadium for the shows. 120 foster kids get to attend the event free of charge via the county's allotment (suite will take in other 20 ticketed kids outside the regular ticket allotment).
