Today, we support the #FansFirstAct and stand with the independent live entertainment community against unfair ticketing practices. The Fans First Act is a beacon of hope, promising to dismantle systemic resale issues—like price gouging and fake tickets—and provide substantive protections for live event goers. Stand with us and let Congress know we need transparency and fairness in ticketing. Together, we can create a better future for live entertainment. Help us push for change by contacting Congress at fixthetix.org As a reminder, valid Houston Symphony tickets are only sold on our website (houstonsymphony.org) or through our Patron Services Center via text/phone or email. Don't fall prey to scammers and price gaugers by buying from reseller sites!
