Ticket Resale Payments & Event Settlement

Tickets are sold months before the event, which creates chargeback and delivery risk. Roots places ticket resale platforms with acquirers that underwrite future-delivery risk, and sets up post-event seller payouts, promoter settlement and crew pay. Since May 2025, the FTC's fee rule requires all-in ticket pricing.
