Questions about the program? Please contact:
4. What if my license agreement renewed in September or even June 2022? Do I have to pay MORE to get into the discount program for 2023? How does that work?
Answer: For ASCAP: If your current license already extends into 2022, you will get a credit for that portion of 2022 you already paid, which will be deducted from your bill for your 2023 license fee, which will be with the 30% discount. Depending on how far into 2022 a club has paid, some clubs may be entitled to a rebate.
Answer: No. You must be an ACE Member to participate. The negotiated agreement is exclusive to ACE Members only. The deadline for joining the 2023 ASCAP program is November 15, 2020. The deadline for joining the 2023 BMI discount Program is November 15, 2023. If you own clubs, becoming a member is EASY and we welcome you to our association! It’s as simple as sending us your information and paying your $225.00 per location annual membership on your first ACE-ASCAP invoice.
