Limited-edition newspaper prints for the Paris shows · La Seine Musicale, Nov 18 + 19 2026, with the Orchestre Lamoureux · one edition per night · never reprinted · never discounted
01 — The idea, simply

Two types of products

Two symphonic nights on the Seine, the songs rearranged for orchestra, the new album celebrated — exactly the kind of dated, one-time event a collectible newspaper is built for.

Product A — Open edition

One design for the Paris run, sold at both nights and online, closed forever when the run ends. Simpler, batch-printed to demand — no per-night collectible story, so it earns a lower price point.

Product B — Limited edition, per night

A unique newspaper for each night — the date, the orchestra, the setlist, the writing. Run sized to the room; when a night sells out, that edition is gone forever. Scarcity is real and dated, so it carries a higher price point than a poster.

They combine well: per-night editions at the shows, the open edition online only — the collector object and the accessible one, without either undercutting the other.

02 — Why Wide Open

We handle everything end to end

End-to-end. Event production with H&M and Highsnobiety. Production for Nike. TikTok marketing for Noah Kahan. Creative direction with over 20 artists across genres. We stock our own newspapers through our own global distribution — Magculture, Yvon Lambert, Skylight, Quimby's.

Design, print, logistics, promo, distribution — one team, one pipeline. Full-size newsprint where every spread opens into a wall poster, with real writing on the backs. Your team approves at concept, layout, and final. We run the rest. And we are based in Paris — these shows are our home turf.

03 — The two financial structures

Revenue splits

Pick the structure first — the products below work under either.

Structure 1 — We finance it

Wide Open pays for everything — design, print, shipping. Costs recoup off the top, then the net splits 60/40 in the artist's favor. You write no checks and carry zero risk.

Structure 2 — You finance it

You cover production at cost plus our design & production fee, and keep everything else. More money, small upfront — the right call if you're confident in the run.

Fee$350 flat per edition designed — as quoted, plus production from ~$3–4/unit at small runs (the calculators price the exact run)

These are base prices — scope-specific and negotiable as a bundle.

04 — Product A · Budget playground
