Chargebacks and Refunds Reserve	9 Months Ended
Chargebacks and Refunds Reserve	Sep. 30, 2022
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Chargebacks and Refunds Reserve	Chargebacks and Refunds Reserve The terms of the Company's standard merchant agreement obligate creators to reimburse attendees who are entitled to refunds. The Company records estimates for refunds and chargebacks of its fees as contra-revenue. When the Company provides advance payouts, it assumes risk that the event may be cancelled, fraudulent, or materially not as described, resulting in significant chargebacks and refund requests. See Note 8, “Accounts Payable, Creators”. If the creator is insolvent or has spent the proceeds of the ticket sales for event-related costs, the Company may not be able to recover its losses from these events, and such unrecoverable amounts could equal the value of the transaction or transactions settled to the creator prior to the event that is disputed, plus any associated chargeback fees not assumed by the creator. The Company records reserves for estimated advance payout losses as an operating expense classified within sales, marketing and support. Reserves are recorded based on the Company's assessment of various factors, including the amounts paid and outstanding to creators in conjunction with the advance payout program, the nature of future events, the remaining time to event date, macro-economic conditions and current events, and actual chargeback and refund activity during the current year. The chargebacks and refunds reserve was $20.4 million and $21.4 million which primarily includes reserve balances for estimated advance payout losses of $18.2 million and $18.5 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Due to the nature of the COVID-19 situation and the limited amount of currently available data, there is a high degree of uncertainty around the outcome of events that are currently postponed or rescheduled and the remaining advance payouts balance. It is possible that this amount will not be sufficient and the Company's actual losses could be materially different from its current estimates. The Company will adjust reserves in the future to reflect best estimates of future outcomes. The Company cannot predict the outcome of or estimate the possible recovery or range of recovery from these matters.
