Dear NCPC Membership – this is a PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT!
Before you buy – verify!
A special task force created by the North Carolina Presenters Consortium has been working over the past year to address an issue that directly, and negatively, impacts performance venues throughout North Carolina: second- and third-party resellers. These are the entities (sometimes called “pirates”) that position themselves between ticket purchasers and the original hosting venues, typically inflating the original ticket price for their own profit.

This effort originated this past year as the NC General Assembly has been working to draft legislation addressing this issue. This campaign kicks off with our NCPC membership, including venues and their patrons – and artists who rely on ticket sales by those venues.
We have produced three 3-minute videos, each sharing a graphics/info shell but highlighting a specific issue:
“The Ticketing Pirates”
“Same Seat/Multiple Sales”
“Know Your Seller”
We also have a fourth video that features only the tips that are included in the other videos. Follow this link to view, download and share the videos.
Please consider sharing these videos on your social media platforms, web sites, e-newsletters, in your lobbies and from the stage before your shows. To help you with this, we have created a took kit full of handy tips and graphic slide decks.
Here is the Tips to Highlight in Social Media Posts (Consumers + Presenters) and the slide decks that support those tips.
Need even more ideas about how to use these videos? Click here for a great suggestion sheet.
So many of our venues, patrons and artists have experienced the negative effects of an inflated or fraudulent ticket sale – so let’s make a proactive effort to shut this kind of activity down!
And please reach out to us with any questions or suggestions – the show must go on!
