Organizing an event
Set up a payout schedule
By default, payouts for your events are sent three days after your event. If you set up a payout schedule, your events will also have weekly or bimonthly payouts while they are still upcoming or active. To qualify, you must meet a few requirements, such as previously hosting a paid event on Eventbrite. To check your eligibility, go to Finance , select Settings, and then select Payout schedule.

Eligibility
To be eligible for scheduled payouts, you must have:
Previously hosted a paid event on Eventbrite.
Previously received a payout to your bank account.
Owner or admin access to your account
Additional restrictions may apply. All pre-event payouts are also subject to a payout reserve and payout cap, which are explained further in this article.
Options for payout schedules
Qualifying accounts can choose between the following payout schedules:
After your event (default): We'll start processing a single payout three days after your event's end date.
Every week: Payouts start processing weekly on Wednesdays.
Twice a month: Payouts start processing on the 1st and 15th of the month.
Once a payout is sent, it takes up to five business days within the U.S. or seven business days in other countries for the funds to show in your bank account.
Set your payout schedule
To set your payout schedule from your Eventbrite account:
Go to Manage my events .
Go to Finance and select Settings.
Select Payout schedule.
Choose "After each event", "Weekly," or "Twice a month."
Select Confirm schedule.
Your chosen payout schedule is applied immediately. Any changes to the payout schedule will apply to all events in your organization that are using Eventbrite Payment Processing. Payouts will begin processing on the next eligible payout date.
If you're not eligible for early payouts, the option to select a payout schedule won't appear. This option might appear after you host a successful event and receive its payout.
Withdrawal limits
Eventbrite limits the amount of money you can receive before your event ends. These limits include a reserve and a cap, which apply to all events in your organization.
Any remaining funds will be included in your final payout, sent three days after your event ends.
Eventbrite reserves some funds until your event ends
To help cover potential refunds, chargebacks, and cancellations, Eventbrite holds 20% of your event’s net sales in reserve. This is calculated per payout, per event.
If your available funds fall below the 20% reserve threshold, you won’t be able to request an Instant Payout until you sell more tickets.
Any amount held in reserve will be included in your final payout after the event.
You might reach a payout cap
Eventbrite applies a payout cap to the total amount your organization can receive before events have ended.
You can receive up to $100,000 USD (or your currency’s equivalent) in pre-event payouts across all active events in your organization. This includes both Instant Payouts and scheduled payouts.
This is a “rolling” cap that adjusts as you complete events. Once an event ends and you receive the final payout, the amount paid out no longer counts toward the cap.
