Sometimes you need funds early to pay for event preparations, like venue rental or production. For that, Nyebar offers pre-event withdrawals, which let you withdraw part of your ticket sales before the event takes place.

## What a pre-event withdrawal is

A pre-event withdrawal lets you take out part of your ticket sales before the event is over. It's different from a post-event withdrawal, where you withdraw the full amount after the event ends.

> This feature depends on platform settings and may not be enabled for every event or organizer.

## Limits

- Only **part of your sales** can be withdrawn early, up to a certain percentage set by the platform.
- The rest can be withdrawn after the event time ends through a post-event withdrawal (it opens automatically — no need to mark the event as finished).
- Your bank account still needs to be **verified** before you submit a request.

## How to request one

1. Open an event that's currently selling tickets, then go to the **Finance** tab → **Withdrawals** sub-tab.
2. If the feature is available, click **Request Early Withdrawal**.
3. Check the amount you can withdraw early (only a portion, based on the platform percentage).
4. Choose a verified destination account.
5. Confirm and submit your request.

Just like a post-event withdrawal, the request gets a withdrawal code and moves from pending to processing to completed. Funds arrive within a few business days, depending on platform settings.

> Remember that platform fees and payment fees still apply. Factor them in to keep your event prep cash flow safe.
