French term
Fonds de salle
This is a theatrical marketing agency advertising its services to the performing arts industry.
It explains how it sends out press kits, places advertorials, has special arrangements with ticket dealers, etc. which is all very clear.
It then has one heading:
"**Fonds de salle**
- [We work out/suggest] Tarif détaxes sur cibles spécifiques (hors réseaux billetterie) si besoin (20€/25€) et invitations partenaires médias "
The next section moves on to its list of successes, etc, so offers no explanatory context.
What is "Fonds de salle"?
Is it something like "performance hall material" [meaning programs, etc]?
Many thanks as always :-)

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Autre exemple pour votre compréhension : c'est établir un tarif particulier (tarif détaxé) pour constituer un fonds de salle (par ex. des étudiants), ces billets étant commercialisés hors du réseau billetterie.

: Yes! Well described... those basic faithful few who come on a regular basis, rather than those once-a-year cinema-goers who make a nice but erratic boost to sales when some blockbuster gets good press hype.

In that case, of course, the term is 'salle pédagogique', so I can see why Asker would question its relevance here — as I do too.

However, I just wanted to make a comment about 'salle' — in this sort of context, that would never be 'performance hall'! In some context, 'salle' will be 'theatre' (usually, when talking about e.g. 'sortie en salle' = 'theatrical release'); in other contexts, and specifically in industry jargon, it may be 'house'; at other times, it may be simply 'cinema' (for both the establishment, and the actual auditorium); and of course, sometimes, in a non-specifically-movie context, 'auditorium' is indeed the word one needs.
As for the 'fonds' part, you'll need to wait for more expert advice on that part; I don't know if it means 'funds' in the sense of 'resources' (logically, that would be it), or literally, 'le fond de la salle' i.e. the far or back end of the room — which seems highly unlikely to me!
