faqs
yes. ticket money releases automatically the day after each event — that’s the default for every organizer — or on event day itself if you opt in from your banking page. need it sooner? release eligible funds ahead of schedule with early payout for a 3% fee — money can land in as little as 30 minutes.
- payout schedules: next-day is the default, event-day is an opt-in. we only slow a schedule when real risk shows up — elevated refunds, disputes — and you can see your status (and appeal any restriction) from your banking page.
- automatic safety pause: a sudden, unusual spike in sales — especially on a brand-new account — can pause payouts while a real person takes a quick look. most reviews finish within one business day, and your money stays in your account the whole time.
- early payout fee: 3% of the amount released early. a portion stays behind as a reserve until your normal release date.
- a 10% reserve is held for 30 days after each event as a refund cushion — this applies for every organizer.
- availability: early payouts are available 24/7, including weekends and holidays, and typically land within 30 minutes.
