Creator advances are incentives that are offered by the Company which provide the creator with funds in advance of the event. Creator advances are presented net of reserves on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. These are subsequently recovered by withholding amounts due to the Company from the sale of tickets for the event until the creator payment has been fully recovered.
