Using LEAP To Lobby Effectively

The Better Ticketing Association's (BTA) LEAP Matching Fund Program exists to support BTA members lobby within their home state for the advancement of a free and open market for ticket sales and resales.
BTA will match a broker's contribution to lobbying activities in the broker's state up to a maximum amount of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00).
To qualify, a broker must request that the local ticket brokers' association submit the following to the BTA:

  1. written documentation of the assocation's lobbying strategy, objectives, and budget
  2. written confirmation that at least five percent (5%) of the lobbying costs have or will come from the National Association of Ticket Brokers' (NATB) Legal Fund, and
  3. a copy of the check(s) from qualified TicketNetwork brokers made out to the local ticket brokers' association for lobbying expenses

The BTA wants to help you protect the interests of the ticket resale industry, but we can only help if you do your part.

If you need more information or would like to contact the Better Ticketing Association, you may do so via email.
