Bill > HR3950

This bill, titled the "Transparency In Charges for Key Events Ticketing Act" or the "TICKET Act," aims to improve transparency in the sale of event tickets. Key provisions include: 1. Requiring ticket issuers, secondary market ticket issuers, and secondary market ticket exchanges to clearly and conspicuously display the total event ticket price, including all fees, at the time of advertisement and throughout the ticket purchasing process. 2. Prohibiting the sale of event tickets by entities that do not have actual or constructive possession of the tickets, with exceptions for services that help consumers obtain tickets. 3. Establishing requirements for ticket-selling websites, including the need to disclose if they are engaged in secondary ticket sales and restrictions on using certain names or trademarks without authorization. 4. Mandating refunds for canceled or postponed events (except in certain unforeseeable circumstances) and the clear disclosure of refund policies. The bill also requires the Federal Trade Commission to report on enforcement of the Better Online Ticket Sales Act of 2016 and gives the Commission authority to enforce the TICKET Act as a violation of unfair or deceptive practices.
