Musicians push Congress to pass bill aimed at reforming ticket industry

On April 25, over 250 popular musicians signed an open letter to the Senate Commerce Committee demanding reforms to the current live-event ticketing system. The open letter was organized by Fix the Tix, a coalition spearheaded by the National Independent Venue Association and Eventbrite. Musicians who signed the letter include: , Billie Eilish, Dave Matthews and Green Day. "We are joining together to say that the current system is broken: predatory resellers and secondary platforms engage in deceptive ticketing practices to inflate ticket prices and deprive fans of the chance to see their favorite artists at a fair price.”
