Face the Music: The Time to Support the Fans First Act Is Now
In a Billboard guest column, Eventbrite Co-Founder & CEO Julia Hartz, together with National Independent Venue Association (NIVA) Executive Director Stephen Parker, calls for Congress to pass the Fans First Act. The bipartisan legislation will bring enforcement and transparency, prohibit deceptive websites, disclose resellers, and ban speculative ticketing.
We’re One Step Closer to Comprehensive Ticketing Reform!
Responding to your voices and others throughout the country, the U.S. House of Representatives strengthened and passed H.R. 3950, the TICKET Act. Now the U.S. Senate must pass its bipartisan Fans First Act (S. 3457). The Fans First Act builds upon the TICKET Act with additional provisions to wholly ban speculative (fake) tickets, prohibit deceptive website imagery, increase mandatory reporting of illegal BOTS, require itemization of the ticket price and fees, and provide meaningful enforcement.
