Eventbrite’s new tools enhance financial flexibility
Eventbrite has introduced two new features, Instant Payouts and Tap to Pay, aimed at providing event organisers with enhanced financial flexibility and operational efficiency.
Instant Payouts allows organisers to withdraw funds from ticket sales before the event, with deposits arriving within minutes, for a small fee. Instant Payouts provides organisers with control over their finances, empowering them to plan even better events with earlier access to sales proceeds.
Tap to Pay, included for all users at no cost, allows event organisers to accept cashless payments, both at the door and beyond, without any additional costs. Enabling contactless payments directly on their mobile devices eliminates the need for dedicated payments hardware.
The features are currently rolling out to eligible organisers in the US and are expected to be fully available in the next few weeks, with global availability slated by the end of the year.

The power scheduling and booking tool enables agents to book across multiple venues, simultaneously, see their artists’ availabilities and clashes, and book automatically through the app.
