Bill Summary
Relative to ensuring transparent ticket pricing. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.
AI Summary
This bill aims to ensure transparent ticket pricing by requiring licensed operators, ticket resellers, and platforms that facilitate ticket sales to disclose the total cost of a ticket, including all ancillary fees, in a clear and conspicuous manner before the ticket is selected for purchase. The bill also prohibits false or misleading disclosures of subtotals, fees, charges, and other components of the total price, and it prevents the price of a ticket from increasing during the purchase process, except for reasonable fees for the delivery of non-electronic tickets, which must be disclosed prior to payment.
