Final step: Subtracting the numbers of tickets sold in the first weekend by the number of tickets sold in the following week and weekend combined.

It is the subtraction between 74,877 and 60,886

74,877

-60,886

13,991

So, there were 13,991 more tickets sold in the first weekend than the following week combined.
