As entertainers, we give out prizes for interactive games; bottles, glowsticks and popcorn.
what kind of expenses would others classify these as?
I am not an accountant, this is just a personal opinion,
Depends if you regard them as a “cost of sales” taken before calcuation of gross profit or as a promotion.taken after you have calculated the gross profit.
If these are routine on all games I would consider them a “cost of sales” and they could probably go under “5000 - general purchases” or “5002 - Misc Purchases” although I would be tempted to create a custom category to make analysis easier.
