SOCAN TARIFF 9 – SPORTS EVENTS (2024-2026)

Royalties

For the performance, at any time and as often as desired in the years 2024 to 2026, of any or all of the works in SOCAN’s repertoire, by means of performers in person or by means of recorded music, in connection with baseball, football, hockey, basketball, skating competitions, races, track meets and other sports events, the fee payable per event shall be 0.1% of gross receipts from ticket sales, exclusive of sales and amusement taxes.

A complimentary ticket is valued at half the lowest price paid for a sold ticket from the same ticket category in the same event.

In all cases, the minimum fee payable for an event, including an event to which the admission is free, is $8.

Terms and Conditions

This tariff does not authorize performances of music at opening and closing events for which an additional admission charge is made.

No later than 30 days after the end of each quarter, the user shall file with SOCAN a report for that quarter of the actual number of events, together with payment of the fees due pursuant to this tariff.

SOCAN shall have the right to audit the user’s books and records, on reasonable notice and during normal business hours, to verify the statements rendered and the royalties payable by the user.

Any amount not received by the due date shall bear interest from that date until the date the amount is received. Interest shall be calculated daily, at a rate equal to 1% above the Bank Rate effective on the last day of the previous month (as published by the Bank of Canada). Interest shall not compound.

All amounts payable under this tariff are exclusive of any federal, provincial or other taxes or levies of any kind.
