It appears the folks that spearheaded the Save Our Stages effort during Covid which became the Shuttled Venue Operators Grant program are turning their energies toward tackling all the problematic event ticketing issues we have been hearing about recently, (but suffering for decades).
The National Independent Venue Association has been joined by 18 other national and regional organizations in the Fix The Tix coalition. The announcement of the coalition popped up last week. They haven’t listed and specific measures for which they are advocating, but the website says:
….this coalition represents stakeholders who take on all the risk to create once-in-a-lifetime experiences and bring joy, employment, and economic impact to communities across America.
We are coming together to protect fans from price gouging and deceptive and predatory ticketing practices.
