#AB2808

Consumers deserve Buffy Wicks #AB2808 as originally intended, without carve-outs and exemptions for billionaires. #CaLeg needs to protect California's fans from the #Ticketmaster monopoly and corporate greed.

Without significant amendments, #AB2808 will hurt CA indie and non profit stages. Buffy Wicks , when you listen to artists and venues, you pass stronger legislation!

Consumers aren't protected from #Ticketmaster 's abuses when we make exemptions for billionaire sports team owners.

We need Buffy Wicks #AB2808 to protect ALL fans. #caleg

#Ticketmaster fees make it difficult for parents to take their kids to see the #49ers . Pass #AB2808 w/o billionaire carve-outs so families can afford to cheer on their favorite team. #caleg

Ticketmaster controls 84% of sports ticketing, subjecting fans to high fees w/ no control over their tickets. #CaLeg must pass Buffy Wicks #AB2808 , giving ALL consumers more options than the #TicketmasterMonopoly
