Industry committee  You're asking a very specific question throughout a whole ecosystem of an industry. What I'm trying to articulate is that we are continuing to invest to get the monies into the hands of artists. We are on the side of the artists, trying to have those monies that are generated fro

Industry committee  The commercial terms in both primary and secondary and marketing partnerships in today's digital age are comprehensive, so there isn't one answer that will cover the entire industry. The specifics of the terms of those commercial arrangements are not public. That said, you spoke

Industry committee  The industry is working in partnership. It's all about the balance of supply and demand and pricing. At the same time that we're building out safe resale environments, we're building out pricing tools so that the pricing can be market value. Artists and teams and such attractions

Industry committee  As I said, every attraction is its own business. Every venue, every touring attraction, every business has its own commercial terms. There's no one answer to that.

Industry committee  What I'm saying is that what we will continue to do is invest in technologies to get tickets into the hands of the fans who want to see those attractions at the prices the attractions want those tickets to be issued—

Industry committee  Again, we work in partnership with artists. We are investing in new mechanisms to right-price the tickets so that that money ends up in the hands of the artists. We use different technologies to.... We're not in the game of trying to promote resale. The resale is a safe environ

Industry committee  You're referring to the Ontario provincial legislation?

Industry committee  I'll start with the question about TradeDesk. The misconception there would be that this tool, this piece of technology, actually has anything to do with acquiring tickets. It's a technology that is used by resellers to distribute their tickets or manage their tickets onto mult

Industry committee  It takes longer than 13 seconds to talk about the primary and secondary resale markets in North America, which are very different from those in Europe, etc. I'd be happy to do some follow-up there.

Industry committee  I can hear you fine. Thank you.

Industry committee  Good afternoon, Chair and members of the standing committee. My name is Patti-Anne Tarlton. I thank you for the opportunity to join you here and, importantly, for inviting a dialogue with the live music industry. I'm honoured to represent this diverse and vibrant industry, one

Canadian Heritage committee  The times are changing, and the live music industry is no different from other industries in the 80-20 rule: the 20% at the top make 80% of the revenue. But historically, with the revenue that went to the other 80%, they could make a good living; musicians with that 20% could liv

Canadian Heritage committee  I think that's what we talk about. Where we could focus on is how we keep those artists on the road. So we talk about building an ecosystem that's friendly and frictionless so that they can tour from Vancouver to Newfoundland, or Vancouver Island to Newfoundland, so that these pe

Canadian Heritage committee  I would suggest that we take the example of the film industry and there was a momentum decades ago to call that a priority sector. If we could have multiple levels of government agree that the benefits of live music are so important to the fabric that we would declare them a prio

Canadian Heritage committee  We feel that we have had success, but if we were to focus on it in a strategic way, that success could show returns at five times or ten times what we have today. You'll hear us say as private enterprise that we're doing pretty well, but imagine how well we could do if we actual
