Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company derives its revenues primarily from ticketing and payment processing. The Company also derives a smaller portion of revenues from marketing services. The Company's customers are event creators who use the Company's platform to sell tickets and market events to attendees. Revenue is recognized when or as control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Transaction Revenue For ticketing services, the Company's service provides a platform to the event creator and attendee to transact. The Company's performance obligation is to facilitate and process that transaction and issue the ticket, and revenue is recognized by the Company when the ticket is sold. The amount that the Company earns for its services is fixed which typically consists of a flat fee and a percentage based fee per ticket. As a result, the Company records revenue on a net basis related to its ticketing service fees. For payment processing services, the Company's service provides the event creator with the choice of whether to use Eventbrite Payment Processing (EPP) or to use a third-party payment processor, referred to as Facilitated Payment Processing (FPP). Under the EPP option, the Company is the merchant of record and is responsible for processing the transaction and collecting the face value of the ticket and all associated fees at the time the ticket is sold. The Company is also responsible for remitting these amounts collected, less the Company's fees, to the event creator. For EPP services, the Company determined that it is the principal in providing the service as the Company is responsible for fulfilling the promise to process the payment and has discretion in establishing the price of its service. As a result, the Company records revenue on a gross basis related to its EPP service fees. Costs incurred for processing the ticketing transactions are included in cost of net revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. Under the FPP option, the Company is not responsible for processing the transaction or collecting the face value of the ticket and associated fees. In this case, the Company records revenue on a net basis related to its FPP service fees. Revenue is presented net of indirect taxes, customer refunds, payment chargebacks, estimated uncollectible amounts, creator royalties, and amortization of creator signing fees. Previously, the Company offered upfront payments to creators entering into new or renewed ticketing arrangements. However, the Company is shifting from upfront payment incentives to performance based incentives on a limited basis. If an event is cancelled by a creator, then any obligations to provide refunds to event attendees are the responsibility of that creator. If a creator is unwilling or unable to fulfill their refund obligations, the Company may, at its discretion, provide attendee refunds. Marketing Revenue Revenue from marketing services is derived from providing creators with access to various marketing tools and functionalities for a monthly subscription fee. The Company considers that it satisfies its performance obligation as it provides the services to customers and recognizes revenue ratably over the service term which varies from one month to a year. Creator Signing Fees, Net Creator signing fees are incentives that are offered and paid by the Company to secure exclusive ticketing and payment processing rights with certain creators. The benefit the Company receives by securing exclusive ticketing and payment processing rights with certain creators from creator signing fees is inseparable from the customer relationship with the creators and accordingly the amortization of these fees is recorded as a reduction of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2022, the balance of creator signing fees, net is being amortized over a weighted-average remaining contract life of 3.4 years on a straight-line basis. The following table summarizes the activity in creator signing fees for the periods indicated (in thousands):
