Event & Ticketing Promotions Payments Come with Their Own Rules.
Most processors see the category and say no, or approve you and shut you down later. Here is what an account built for your business has to handle.
On-Sale Day Looks Like Fraud
Hundreds of sales in an hour can trip risk alerts on a standard account and freeze processing right when demand peaks.
Cancellations Hit All at once
Weather, artist changes or venue issues can trigger mass refunds and disputes in a single day.
Resale and Fraud Target Hot Events
Bots and stolen cards go after popular shows. You need screening that stops bad orders without blocking real fans.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still have a Question?
A MannyPay specialist can walk you through it, with no obligation.
Why are event and ticketing businesses high risk?
You collect money well before the event happens. If it is postponed or canceled, many buyers may ask for refunds at once. Banks price in that exposure, so they underwrite events more carefully than a shop that delivers on the spot.
Will you hold my ticket revenue until the event?
It depends on your history, volume and how far ahead you sell. Some accounts carry a reserve or delayed funding. If one applies, we tell you the terms before you sign.
Can my account handle a big on-sale?
Yes, if we plan for it. We set volume limits based on your expected peak. Let your specialist know about large on-sales in advance so limits are in place before tickets go live.
Can I sell tickets at the door too?
Yes. Mobile Clover and PAX readers take walk-up tickets, merch and bar sales at the venue. Those sales report alongside your online ticketing.
What happens if my event is canceled?
Follow your published refund policy and process refunds promptly. Fast refunds help prevent disputes. Your specialist can help you plan the refund process and keep documentation in order.
Do you work with first-time promoters?
Yes. New promoters can apply. A complete application with your venue agreement, event plan and ticket pricing helps underwriting move faster. Eligibility is subject to underwriting.
