Hosting paid events

When you host a paid event on Eventbrite, your checkout setup for attendees determines how funds are collected and how fees are applied, which can affect the amount you receive in your payout.

Processing payments

Eventbrite Payment Processing (EPP) is the default method for accepting payments. Eventbrite collects payments, deducts any Ticketing Fees, and sends your payout by direct deposit.

If EPP isn’t available for your payout country and currency, you may be able to use PayPal as a payment processor instead. With PayPal, the funds from your ticket sales are sent directly to your PayPal account. Eventbrite will send you a monthly invoice to collect the Service Fees for any tickets sold.

Ticketing Fees

When you sell tickets, add-ons, or accept donations, your attendees pay Eventbrite’s Ticketing Fees at checkout. You can choose to cover the fees instead, but they’ll be deducted from your sales, reducing the amount you receive in your payout.

Adding a payout method

To add or update your payout method:

  1. Go to Manage my events .

  2. Go to Finance  and select Settings.

  3. Select Add bank account and enter your details.

If your bank is located in Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, or the United States, you’ll be required to verify your financial information before you can receive a payout.

When to expect your payout

Eventbrite sends your payout three business days after your event ends. Then, your bank will need to accept the payout and deposit it into your account. The total time it takes to get your payout varies depending on your bank’s processing time and location:

  • U.S. banks: Your event payout should arrive within 6-8 business days after your event ends.

  • Banks in other countries: your final event payout should arrive within 8-10 business days after your event ends.

Payouts before your event

If you're new to using Eventbrite, your first payout will be sent after your event ends.

After you’ve hosted your first event, you may have the option to receive your funds sooner with a custom payout schedule. Additionally, some U.S. organizers are eligible to use Instant Payouts to get funds sent instantly.

Payouts for recurring events

If your event has multiple instances, payout timing will vary based on your location:

Reviewing your payout history

If you use Eventbrite Payment Processing, you can go to Finance  to check your payout history and download a payout report. A payout report helps you understand your gross and net sales, as well as account for refunds, charges, credits, and tax.

Delayed or missing payouts

If your payout hasn’t arrived within the expected timeframe:

  • Check the email associated with your Eventbrite account. If there's an issue that requires you to take action, Eventbrite sends an email.

  • Check your payout status: Go to Finance  and select Payouts.

  • Make sure that your event has a bank account associated with it: Go to Events  and select your event. Then, go to Payments & Tax and select Payment options to manage your payout method.
