Dave Matthews Band's foundation, BAMA WORKS, has raised over $52MM.  These bands are doing amazing work with the ticket sales $$$

The thing that the 3rd generation of rock learned best from gen 1 and 2 was that talk is cheap.  Whether I agree or disagree with any band in how they approach their charitable efforts I applaud that they ACTUALLY do it versus pay it lip service.

My view is that if you had a choice to pay or not then it would be your donation. If it's mandatory it becomes part of the ticket price and therefore it's money the band chooses to donate.

Can I deduct this on my tax return? You know the band is.

You do have a choice, if you don’t pay, you don’t go...but I do believe you are technically correct.
