A Voluntary Ticket Levy is a proposed or implemented scheme within the music industry, particularly in the UK, where a small, voluntary charge is added to tickets for larger live music events (such as arena and stadium concerts). The funds collected from this levy are intended to be used to support and sustain grassroots music venues, which often struggle financially. The aim is to create a sustainable funding stream from the more profitable parts of the live music sector to bolster the foundational venues where emerging artists develop.
