MARS — Brown Paper Tickets, the online ticketing company that owed Mars Borough $25,000 in revenue from the 2022 Mars Brew Fest, said the owed funds would be paid to the borough this week.

At a Mars borough council meeting on Monday, Mayor Gregg Hartung said that the borough had been officially notified by the company Oct. 12 that the missing $25,000 would be deposited within the next week.

“They said that they would be processing the check, and they would put it into our bank, and it might take three or five days to clear for that amount,” Hartung said. “We’re hoping that making it public and doing some things to put pressure on helped us to get the $25,000 to us from the Brew Fest. We’ll see at the end of the week if we have it. Hopefully, we will.”
