DC Government

From the office of Councilmember Charles Allen:

“DC Councilmember Charles Allen (Ward 6), backed by a coalition of local venues, artists, and national independent music organizations announced legislation targeting scalpers and secondary ticketing platforms like StubHub, Vivid Seats, TicketNetwork, Ticket Center and SeatGeek by putting in place a price cap on resold tickets, banning speculative ticket sales, and requiring individuals and businesses selling more than 50 tickets a year to register with the District.

Joining the announcement were I.M.P. and 30 local venues and music industry organizations, including the National Independent Venues Association (NIVA), local musical artist CJ Johnson of Oh He Dead, and the Office of the DC Attorney General. The event took place inside The Anthem, one of DC’s premier live music destinations, and included representatives from many of DC’s music venues. (more…)
