Billie Eilish among 250 artists campaigning for ticket sales reform – Leader Publications

Billie Eilish is one of more than 250 artists who signed a letter to the Senate aimed at tackling the ticket resale market. Eilish, Dave Matthews, Lorde, Green Day and Sia are among the notable artists urging Congress to pass the Fans First Act. The letter claims that current practices expose fans and artists to questionable practices by players in the ticket resale market. “It is clear that artists, venues and fans are demanding comprehensive ticketing reform and consumer protection from the predatory ticket resale practices that have profoundly affected live performance,” said Stephen Parker, executive director of the National Independent Venue Association. This bill is a major initiative by the live events industry and professionals to promote improved and fair ticketing practices.
