About the MLF
The MLF is a project funded by TicketBiscuit LLC that makes money available to live entertainment venues and promoters within the United States who wish to become or remain independent from the TicketMaster/LiveNation umbrella.
The MLF was established to help preserve diversity and independence in the operations of America's live music venues. We feel that the industry dominance of TicketMaster and LiveNation endangers the very existence of independent entertainers, venues, and promoters. Independence is crucial to the artistic landscape of our communities, and we are taking these actions to preserve it.
All Ticketmaster or Ticketmaster subsidiary clients whose contracts expire in 2009 qualify. But venues and promoters need not be current Ticketmaster or Ticketmaster subsidiary clients to qualify. Performing Arts, Theatre, Sports, Comedy, and other types of venues and promoters qualify as well.
Visit our Join the Effort page. There, you will find a ton of resources that will help you get involved and encourage your local venues to explore alternative ticketing providers.
To receive funds from the MLF, venues and promoters must enter into an exclusive ticketing agreement with TicketBiscuit. Funds will be awarded monthly in proportion to the number of tickets sold. Detailed terms and conditions will be presented to those who pass the initial qualifying phase.
