Not to white knight Paypal, but selling tickets is a highly fraud risky payment event (opposed to just selling stuff). It has a high number of chargebacks due to possible event cancellation, people not showing up, or people just not liking the event. You would most likely be required to send this paperwork for each event to most any credit processor. Typically I've found that with Paypal there's no immediate cost of entry (just start accepting payments) but paperwork is required over a certain threashold. But try to use any regular credit processor, they'll require your paperwork done in advance, and since you're doing an event with tickets, it might take a few applications until you find one with decent rates who will accept your risk.
