An amusement tax on tickets sold for ticketed concerts, performances and events at the Hard Rock Casino Rockford’s Live venue was backed Monday by members of the city’s Code & Regulation Committee.

The proposed tax targets tickets sold at the roughly 1,600-seat Hard Rock Live venue by limiting it to venues with a total capacity of at least 750 people and carving out exemptions. Performance and concert tickets would be taxed at 5% while sporting event tickets would be taxed at 3%.

It excludes special service areas where a similar tax is already charged on tickets sold at the BMO Center and the Coronado Performing Arts Center via special service areas.
