Vault and Capital

# See what your event earned and when you get paid

Promoters and finance leads settling up after a show want one number they can plan with and a date the money arrives. Vault puts every event's money on one page, from what buyers paid to what reaches you, so you can answer "what did this show make?" without building a spreadsheet.

See what each event took in ticket sales and add-ons, what came off for refunds, fees, partner shares, Capital and lost disputes, the estimate of what reaches you, and when the payout for the event is expected.

For:  Settling up the money from each event you run

Takes:  7 minutes

## Your Events page

- [Events](#step-1)
- [Money from this event](#step-2)
- [When you get paid](#step-3)
- [If ticket money lands in Vault](#step-4)

## Before you start

- You're an owner or an admin on the brand. Those are the two roles that reach Vault.
- Vault is switched on for your brand. Ask Ticket Fairy support to switch it on if **Vault** isn't in your brand's menu. You don't need an active Vault account to read your events' money.

- ## Events

  Pick the brand, open **Vault**, then select **Events**. Each row is one of the brand's events with its dates, **Where the money goes**, the **Payout** and any **Capital to repay**. **Show events** narrows the list to **Upcoming**, **Ended**, **Payout due** or **On hold**, and the search box finds an event by name.

  **Note:** **Payout due** is the list to follow up: events that have ended, that Ticket Fairy pays you for, and that are not paid, held or paid in advance. Select **View money** on a row to open that event's money.

- ## Money from this event

  The top section of an event's money counts what buyers paid and what came off it, one block per currency the event sold in. **Money in** is **Ticket sales**, with the number of orders and tickets beneath it, and **Add-ons**; **Of which tax** is the tax already inside those figures. **Taken off** lists **Refunds**, **Ticket Fairy fees**, **Card processing fees**, **Partner shares**, **Capital repaid** and **Lost disputes**, and **Estimated to you** is money in minus everything taken off.

  **Note:** **Estimated to you** always carries **Estimate**, because the final figure is your payout, or what lands in your Vault balance for an event paid straight to Vault. Open disputes are listed beneath it but not taken off yet, and the notes under the figures say when a dispute or a card fee may still lower the payout.

- ## When you get paid

  Beside the figures, a timeline runs from the event ending to the money reaching you. For an event Ticket Fairy pays you for, **Payout expected** gives the window 10 to 15 working days after the event ends, then **Paid to you** turns into **Paid** with the date once we send it.

  **Note:** **Payout on hold** means we are holding the payout, for example while buyers are refunded for a cancelled event; our team contacts you if they need anything. **Advance paid** shows money we paid you before the event.

## If ticket money lands in Vault

An event paid **Straight to your Vault** has no payout to wait for, so its timeline reads **Money arrives as buyers pay**. Its estimate is a guide to what the event added to your Vault balance, and the balance on the Vault Overview is the figure you spend from.

## Questions you might have

What does Where the money goes mean?:  It says how the event takes its ticket money. **Straight to your Vault** means ticket money lands in your Vault as buyers pay; **Paid out by Ticket Fairy** means we collect it and pay you after the event ends; **Your own payment account** means your own connected account collects it; and **Another arrangement** covers anything else. Only an event Ticket Fairy pays you for has a payout to wait for, so the others read **Already with you** or **No payout for this event**.

Why does Estimated to you differ from the money I received?:  The estimate is worked out from your order records, and your payout is the final figure. Refunds and disputes after the figures were read, card fees recorded later and anything we paid you in advance all change what arrives. The date and time under the statement, after Figures as of, says when the figures were read.

Why are card processing fees not shown?:  "Card processing fees for this event are shown on your statement from Vault, not here." appears when the event's card payments went straight to Vault, whose statement lists those fees. On other events a missing fee means some payments have not recorded their fee yet, so the estimate may go down slightly.

Why is Ticket Fairy fees marked Estimate?:  On an event Ticket Fairy collects the payments for, the fee is worked out from what each buyer paid above your ticket price and tax, less the card fee. On your own payment account the fee is the exact figure recorded on each order.

Are refunded tickets counted in Ticket sales?:  Yes. Ticket sales is what buyers paid, including tickets refunded later, and the money that went back to them is taken off under **Refunds**. Only refunds that went through count.

Why are all the figures zero?:  An event that has not sold a ticket yet shows **No sales yet**, and figures appear after the first ticket sells. An event in another currency shows its figures in that currency rather than converted.

How up to date are the figures?:  We read them again at least every 5 minutes, and straight away when a refund, a dispute or a payout changes. The time after Figures as of, under the statement, is the last reading.

Where do I see ticket sales by ticket type or by day?:  Select **See ticket sales in detail** under the payout timeline. It opens the event's own sales reports.

My event says Payout on hold. What do I do?:  Nothing yet. We hold a payout while something needs settling, such as refunds for a cancelled event or a dispute, and our team contacts you if they need anything from you. The event also appears under **On hold** on the Events page.
