Benefit concert for fund raising

[Questionguy101]

Taxpayer attended a benefit concert for fund raising for a community service organization (He said he would not have attended the concert if it was not a fund raising event). They did not say the portion that is deductible on the ticket. Does it mean none of the ticket price is deductible or there is a certain way to calculate the portion that is deductible?

I would research what this type of concert would normally cost for the price of a ticket.
That would be the amount that is not deductible.

Tax preparers are

now going to research fair market value of local concerts??? The charge for doing that may be higher than the deduction.

Ah but, I didn't say any concert I said similar concerts.
