SIBIL FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Who should make the statement in SIBIL? The venue or producer of the show?
Decree No. 2017-926 of May 9, 2017 stipulates that "The data relating to the performances of the past quarter are transmitted by the show entrepreneurs responsible for ticketing, including when they subcontract all or part of its marketing to a third party." The declaration must be made by the ticketing manager in the proper sense, regardless of the location, which should not be taken into consideration.
Who is affected by the first wave of SIBIL deployment on 1 July 2018? By the second wave on 1 October 2019? By the 3rd wave on 1 April 2020?
On July 1, 2018, all funded organizations (1st wave); on October 1, 2019, all members of the Association de soutien au théâtre privé (ASTP) and the Centre national de la chanson des variété et du jazz (CNV) (2nd wave) ; on April 1, 2020, all other licensed performing arts organizations (3rd wave).
Who is responsible for declaring in case of partnerships (co-accusal with sale to several, or sale without assignment contract, sale through a partner, etc.)?
The declaration must be made by the ticketing manager itself, regardless of the configuration of the terms of sale (sale to several, sale without assignment contract, sale via a partner). If the ticketing is shared, each partner reports its own data if it can do so without risk of duplication. Otherwise, the partners must agree on a ticket manager who declares all the data. In case of automatic data recording by a ticketing software, the problem no longer arises.
Should free tickets or ticketing data be declared for free performances?
If tickets are issued, there is a declaration. Thus, tickets issued free of charge for a performance, paid or not, are declared in the category of exempt securities. On the other hand, a free performance that does not give rise to the issue of tickets is not declared.
Does the transmission of data for a quarter only concern shows whose operation is completed?
No, the quarterly report is for all shows in the past quarter, whether or not they are completed.
Should we declare the absence of programming on the quarter, and how?
In case of absence of programming of shows on the quarter concerned, a proof of period of inactivity must be filed (proof of work or letter certified on honor).
This document must appear online in your space. Email is not considered.

Sales are underway for a show that will take place next quarter. When should I report?
The declaration must relate to the revenue of the quarter concerned. If representations take place in the 4th quarter, the revenue must be declared at the end of the 4th quarter, even if the sales began before the quarter in question.
How to declare a festival?
After answering “Yes” to the question “Does the performance take place at a festival?”, there are two options:
Simplified mode : declaration of the festival in its entirety without specifying the details of the performances
- click directly on the “Next” button without selecting a domain in the section "Field of representation"
Classic mode : detailed declaration of the festival performances
- select the Field of Representation, fill in the description pane of the show, then click on the «Next» button
- If only one ticket is issued for several performances, a declaration must be made for each of them. Otherwise, declare the representation concerned by the ticket.
How to declare different types of tickets?
Reduced fares do not have a dedicated field and should only be included in the «Total ticketing» field.
Passes must be declared in the "Subscriptions, packages and memberships" field.
Other ticket types must be reported in their respective fields.
How do you declare a show cancelled?
It is not mandatory to declare a show cancelled.
The declarant wishing to declare a cancelled event must apply the status "Cancelled" (icon of the white cross on a black background).
How are shows operated over several quarters reported? Should they be reported as ticketing progresses?
The quarterly declaration applies to all shows in arrears, regardless of whether they are finished or not.
The show is not in the SIBIL database. What should I do?
It is the registrant’s responsibility to add the missing shows in SIBIL during the reporting process. These will be validated later by us after verification.
