Fan Freedom Info Cards-

Fan Freedom has been speaking for several months about developing an FFP insert for brokers to include in ticket delivery envelopes sent to consumers. I am pleased to report that we are about to print many thousands of FFP cards, and we are making them available for no cost to brokers who agree to include them in mailings to consumers.

These cards have been approved for envelope insertion by StubHub and TicketNetwork, and the generic card can be used also for direct broker-to-consumer sales. Of course StubHub would like only the StubHub-branded card in its envelopes.

Brokers can order cards directly with Fan Freedom Project by emailing my colleague Chris Thomas, at cthomas@fanfreedom.org. We would like folks to order enough StubHub and generic cards for three months, and then we will order more when we run out if the program seems to be driving FFP sign-ups.

It would be terrific if folks would order their FFP cards by Wednesday so we can have cards delivered directly from the printer to each broker. This will halve our shipping costs and be much appreciated.

As we have discussed, brokers can safely drive consumers to FFP because our privacy policy prohibits us from communicating with our consumers for anything other than FFP matters. We do not share, rent or sell our list.

Thanks again for your consideration and assistance, in this regard and generally. Please let me or Chris know if you have any questions or suggestions.

Thanks, Taylor Gibbs

Stand Up For Fans’ Rights

Have you heard about restrictive paperless ticketing?

It’s a new technology that limits what fans like you can do with the tickets you buy. Ticketmaster and other corporations who control the ticketing industry are using them to push their monopoly into the resale market and take more money out of your pocket.

With restrictive paperless tickets, fans don’t own their own tickets – venues, promoters and companies like Ticketmaster do. And they determine how you can use the tickets you bought – including whether you can sell them or give them to a friend.

We think restrictive tickets are bad for fans. That’s why we’d like to introduce you to the Fan Freedom Project.

The Fan Freedom Project is a new organization with over 40,000 members dedicated to standing up against companies like Ticketmaster. They’re fighting to protect fans like you and preserve a free, transparent and fair ticket market.

As one of our customers, we know that you enjoy the benefits of the secondary ticketing market, including access to events after they sell out, below face-value tickets to professional sporting events, and the ability to sell your tickets when you get sick or stuck at work.

All of these will become impossible if Ticketmaster and their industry partners get their way.

If you believe, as we do, that when fans buy tickets, they own them, we hope you’ll join us in supporting the Fan Freedom Project. Join here http://www.fanfreedom.org/welcome-fans/

In the Wake of Reporting Complaints, IRS Says It Will Delay Penalties, Withholding

Responding to complaints about problems in implementing a new federal law requiring acquirers to report merchants’ electronic payment transactions, the Internal Revenue Service announced on Wednesday it will delay penalty provisions and withholding requirements for a year, until Jan. 1, 2013. All acquirers still are required to file the 1099-K reporting form by year-end.
