The official sources do not provide a public technical rider for a private shows.

A private or corporate engagement may still be subject to its own available format, performance duration, production requirements and commercial conditions.
For this reason, the public tour is useful factual context, but it should not be copied into a private-event proposal as though all conditions are identical.
