Event Creators Promote Ticketing Reform
Hear from event creators about the importance of comprehensive live event ticketing reform and how you can engage with your own members of Congress.
Urge Congress to Pass Meaningful Ticketing Reform!
Congress made unprecedented progress toward bipartisan, comprehensive, live event ticketing reform legislation in late 2023. Urge your members of Congress to cosponsor and pass it to protect live event fans and ticket buyers. Both the Senate’s Fans First Act (S. 3457) and the House’s TICKET Act (H.R. 3950) mandate ticket pricing transparency, ban deceptive advertising and websites, and ban fake tickets!
IRS Postpones Unnecessary IRS Reporting
Progress! In the wake of advocacy by Eventbrite, event creators, coalition partners, and other online sellers and payment transactors, the IRS recently announced another delay of the $600 reporting threshold for Form 1099-K. Event creators will therefore only receive a Form 1099-K if their 2023 sales exceed $20,000 and 200 transactions or are residents of a state with a lower reporting threshold. For tax year 2024, the IRS announced plans for a $5,000 reporting threshold.
