ACTION ALERT: Vermont is close to passing a bill to protect live events and fans. We need you to let Governor Phil Scott know Vermonters support a fair ticket resale market today!  
 
H.512, a bill to create commonsense guardrails for the ticket resale market, overwhelmingly passed the House last month and passed the Senate by unanimous voice vote this week. This is a huge victory for Vermont consumers and the creative sector. The bill will soon head to Gov. Scott’s desk for signature.  
 
Contact Governor Scott TODAY and urge him to sign H.512 (sample language at the link in our bio): https://conta.cc/3P2ryaI
