This has an incredible amount of potential in the events space --- I'm excited to see what new advances this tech will enable

Why?

I'm really not getting the usefulness of this offering, so can't have been exposed to or dealt with companies that have the problem it's solving.

I have worked with events companies on ticketing systems, so any example scenario you can share around events would be great to help me understand.

If I understand Stripe Treasury correctly, then a full-suite event management platform that implements this tech can drastically reduce friction for starting a small events business

(sorry for the hasty weak reply; just wanted to get a response in before the thread locks. I'll email you some specific use cases in a couple days)

Would you mind sharing the uses cases regarding events/ticketing with me as well?

My email address was wrong - I've fixed that now.

I'd be interested as well, would appreciate an email

Seems like that would be more inline with the stripe connect platform.

Today, yes, but I think in the long run a platform that implements something like Stripe Treasury has the opportunity to provide a ton of value for bottom-market event planners (think: those people that run 10 person workshops out of a community center)

It's also true at the high end. Business decisions around key service providers in the AAA+ live events space are driven primarily by access to what effectively are financial services (advances and other lifecycle events, and in general the ability of your counter party to act as an underwriter). Access to quasi-financial services are the key differentiator at the top of the market.

This will be especially true looking forward to the post-COVID relaunch of tours and festivals.
