A letter to Chicago sports fans regarding proposed concert tax

Related Topics: Chicago

We appreciate your continued loyalty to our teams, and we want you to know that we do not take your support for granted. We also understand that when you come to a game to support our players, there is a cost associated with it before you even get into the building with respect to parking, transportation and, most notably, Chicago and Cook County amusement taxes. We never lose sight of that, and we do our best to operate with those concerns in mind.

As you may know, the current amusement tax on tickets to sporting events in Chicago is at 12% - already one of the highest in the United States.
