Bill > SB2344

This bill amends the Ticket Sale and Resale Act in Illinois. The key provisions are: 1. It revises the terminology, replacing "theater, circus, baseball park, and place of public entertainment or amusement" with "primary seller" and "venue." 2. It prohibits primary sellers from restricting a purchaser's ability to resell tickets, including on the secondary ticket sales marketplace of the purchaser's choice. 3. It provides alternative refund provisions for primary sellers and resale marketplaces, including allowing them to offer store credits or gift cards worth at least 110% of the ticket value in the event of a canceled event. 4. It changes the penalties for violating the Act, removing the criminal misdemeanor penalty and instead allowing fines of up to $5,000 per offense and potential license revocation for venues. Overall, the bill aims to provide more consumer protections and flexibility for ticket resales in Illinois.
