Venues, artists, and fans are pushing back! YOU made a difference. Last week's #FixTheTix Day of Action in support of the Fans First Act resulted in 65,000+ emails to Congress. "Consumers, fans and artists that make up this country’s live events industry will not stand by and let predatory resellers control our ticketing-buying experience. ... This country needs legislation that bans fake tickets, ends price gouging, and illegalises deceptive marketing tactics.” - Stephen Parker, NIVA - National Independent Venue Association It's not too late to add your name by sending an email to Congress here: https://lnkd.in/ew9WWGe9 #tickets #ticketingreform #livearts #livemusic #advocacy #artsadvocacy #performingarts
