Working to Fix the Tix
Eventbrite has joined the steering committee to help lead Fix the Tix, a diverse coalition of 30-plus organizations that are committed to fostering fairness and transparency in ticketing through comprehensive federal legislation. Fix the Tix was founded by the National Independent Venue Association (NIVA) and is composed of independent venues, the performing arts industry, artists, independent ticketing companies, the music industry, and labor organizations.
Protect Ticket Buyers
While Eventbrite works to set the right example, live event fans deserve fair, honest, transparent, and reliable ticket-purchasing experiences. Speculative tickets, predatory resales, deceptive practices, and exorbitant price gouging have no place in the live event ecosystem. That’s why Eventbrite is partnering with independent venues and artists to urge Congress to pass comprehensive live event ticketing reforms. Join us.
Save Creators from Unnecessary IRS Reporting
A new law means millions of Americans will face new IRS burdens for low-dollar online transactions. In this current 2023 tax year, the minimum IRS 1099-K reporting threshold for online sales drops from $20,000 in annual payments and 200 transactions to just $600 and one transaction. Join Eventbrite in telling Congress to fix this burdensome requirement this year!
