Give Your Ticket Money an Account It Can Work From

Pay Next Year's Deposit From This Year's Ticket Sales

Vault holds what your events take, in the currencies you sell in, so a promoter or a venue team can spend it as soon as it arrives. Pay artists and suppliers from it, give your team cards that spend from it and collect deposits, sponsorship and hire fees into it. Your payouts still reach your own business bank on the schedule you agreed. Vault is where the money waits, and works, in the meantime.

Vault belongs to your brand, so the money from every event the brand runs arrives in the same balances. A festival that sells in euros keeps its euros until you decide to convert them, and a tour that sells in pounds and dollars has a balance for each currency. Every payment, card purchase and conversion shows who on your team made it.

• Balances in your currencies: money stays in the currency you sold in until you convert it
• Cards and transfers: spend and pay people from the ticket money you hold
• Links and invoices: collect deposits, hire fees and sponsorship into Vault

• Can you hold and spend your ticket money without a separate bank?
• Get Paid for Every Ticket, on the Terms You Choose

Open Your Account From Your Brand

Your brand opens its own Vault account from the dashboard you already run events from. The account form starts with your brand's email, name, city and country filled in, so you only confirm them, say how the business is set up and name the people behind it. One person can fill every role when they run and own the business. Verification happens in a secure window inside Ticket Fairy, and the account card always tells you where the check stands.

The verification questions open from the account card in a secure window, and a colleague who is an owner or an admin on the brand can finish them for you. While Vault checks your details the card says Submitted. If Vault needs anything more, the card says Action required and Continue setup takes you straight to the questions. Once the card says Active, your balances appear and Cards, Transfers and Accounts join the Vault menu.

Your financial profile keeps your business, what it does, the people behind it and their documents, under Business, Activity, People, Documents and Review. Save it and come back whenever you have the details to hand, and the money features reuse it without asking for the same information again.

• Filled in from your brand: contact email, business name, city and country
• The people behind it: one person can hold every role
• Status on the card: Created, Submitted, Action required or Active
• One financial profile: your business details saved for every money feature

• Open a Vault account to hold your ticket money

See What You Can Spend Today in Every Currency

Know what is free to spend before you commit to a supplier. Each currency you hold has its own row, with the money you can pay out or spend today, and On its way and Held beside it, so money still settling or set aside for card purchases never looks spendable. A fresh reading before a big payment puts the latest figures in front of you.

The Action centre keeps every time-sensitive Vault review together, such as a card payment held for a fraud check, an information request or a cardholder review.

Know What Each Event Made and When It Pays Out

Answer "what did this show make?" without building a spreadsheet. Each event's money shows Money in, the ticket sales and add-ons, with the orders and tickets behind them and the tax already inside them. Taken off lists refunds, Ticket Fairy fees, card processing fees, partner shares, Capital repaid and lost disputes, and Estimated to you is what is left.

The Events page lists each event with where its ticket money goes, its payout and any Capital to repay. Show only the events with a payout due or on hold, or find one by name. A timeline on each event runs from the day it ends to the day the money reaches you, then shows Paid with the date. An event paid straight to your Vault shows its money arriving as buyers pay.

You can read your events' money before your Vault account is open, so the Events page is useful from your first on-sale.

• Money in: ticket sales and add-ons, with the orders and tickets behind them
• Taken off: refunds, fees, partner shares, Capital repaid and lost disputes
• Payout due and On hold: the events to follow up, picked out for you
• When you get paid: the payout window, then Paid with the date

• See what your event earned and when you get paid
• Pay Your Deposits Before Your Tickets Go on Sale

Give Sponsors and Partners Abroad Local Bank Details

Touring promoters and festivals with international partners get paid in one currency and spend in another. Open a receiving account in the country your payers bank in and the currency you want, and the sponsor, venue or partner pays you the way they pay any bank account at home. Each payment arrives in Vault in the currency it was sent in.

A local transfer suits payers in the account's own country, and SWIFT suits payers sending from abroad, so you pick the cheaper route for the people paying you. Each account carries a nickname your team recognises, such as European tour, while payers see the account name. View transactions on each account shows who paid, the amount, any fee and its status.

• Receiving accounts: local bank details in the currencies you are paid in
• Details to share: account name, number and bank code, ready to copy
• View transactions: who paid, the amount, any fee and its status

• Get paid for your events in local currencies with Vault

Convert Currencies at a Rate You See Before You Agree

Move your euro festival takings into pounds when the rate suits you. Convert from any balance into the currency you need, and work from the amount you convert or the amount you need to end up with. Before you agree you see your rate, the mid-market rate, the fee already inside your rate and when the money arrives, with a timer while the rate is held for you.

Link the conversion to an event and enter what it is for, so your team knows why the money moved. Every conversion shows who made it, and you follow it under Conversions from Scheduled to Done. Activity lists every movement of your event money, newest first, from ticket money in to payments, conversions, card payments, refunds and fees, with the balance after each one. Narrow it by dates, currency and type to find the payment your accountant asks about.

• Convert money: from any balance into the currency you need
• Rate and fee shown: beside the mid-market rate, before you agree
• Every movement: with the balance after each one

• Convert currencies and follow every movement of your event money in Vault

When an artist, agent or supplier asks for proof that you paid, download a payment confirmation letter from the payment itself.

• Account statement: an official PDF with opening and closing balances
• All activity: every payment in and out, as a spreadsheet or a PDF

• Get a Vault statement of your event money for your accountant

Ask Fai Where Your Money Stands

Ask Fai, the assistant inside your dashboard, what is in Vault right now and how much of it is still settling, or what an event made, what came off it and when its payout reaches you. She marks the estimate as an estimate and changes nothing to answer. She lists your Vault activity for any dates and the reviews waiting in the Action centre.

Fai can also do the work. Ask her for a rate and she quotes it, then converts once you agree to the rate she shows. She opens, renames or closes a receiving account and asks for a statement, and she shows you each change and waits for your yes before she makes it.

• Balances in a sentence: what you hold and what is still settling
• Event money on request: what came in, what came off and when it pays out
• You approve each change: conversions, accounts and statements wait for your yes
