I see the 5 to 8 day waiting period for payment as excessive. Any person who ostensibly had problems with entry for a ticket will know that the day of the event. There is no reason to have any waiting period more than 24 hours after an event.
Yes, I wish the waiting period wasn't this long, but I'm sure it won't change as it's been this way since COVID (maybe late 2020 or so?).
