Unfortunately, there are numerous articles/threads about how they still owe many, many groups substantial sums of money, and obviously Events.com hasn't made good on their promises to pay Brown Paper Tickets' debt. Here's an article from October 2022, and it sounds like things haven't gotten much better:

I'd recommend Ludus, Booktix, ShowTix4U, On the Stage or any of a number of much more reliable companies going forward. In terms of the money you're owed, you might reach out to the California AG's office, as my guess is that many California groups are owed money. Perhaps they would intervene on your collective behalf.
Cheers,
Jonathan

Is anyone else having problems with Brown Paper Tickets/Events.com? We are owed $13,000+ from productions from as far back as April 2022. They no longer take phone calls or respond. Although we were told we were put to the top of their priority list, we have heard nothing. If anyone has had any luck with contacting them, please let me know. In the meantime, DO NOT USE THEIR SERVICES or you may find yourself in the same situation.
