I've heard from some large event organizers that EventBrite is taking similar measures: delaying payouts to event organizers until the event has concluded. I heard from one organizer that they were told by EventBrite that they were not going to see a payout until 2021 for their Labor Day 2020 event.

If that's true, it could be an excuse to financialise the money. Let it earn 5% while you don't have to pay it out. Or worse, use it for opex in a big ole ponzi scheme style busines!
