But let's say that you created a company from the ground up: 0 customers to 1000 customers in 18 months. Assuming those are good numbers, is it fair for the board to remove you? By adding a new CEO, could they clash with the culture and

Is the assumption that all seats do not get sold at a game/concert so people that already have tickets to the event can upgrade their seat just prior to the event starting - so you're trying to capture that incremental revenue that otherwis
