Bill > H3975

This bill aims to secure and improve fans' access to tickets for theatrical exhibitions, public shows, or public amusements. The key provisions are: 1. Requiring that any paperless ticketing system offer consumers the option to purchase tickets that they can transfer at any price and without additional fees. However, exceptions are made for certain membership passes with a fixed capacity and variable seat assignments. 2. Licensing the resale or facilitation of ticket resale, with some exemptions for platforms that solely facilitate resale between third parties. 3. Imposing a bond requirement and fee waiver for resellers that do not charge fees or surcharges above the face value of the ticket, except for reasonable delivery charges. 4. Prohibiting the use of "ticket purchasing software" to bypass security measures and purchase a large number of tickets, with penalties for violations. 5. Requiring resellers to provide full refunds to purchasers under certain circumstances, such as event cancellation or issues with ticket delivery or conformity. 6. Mandating resellers to maintain detailed records of ticket prices and the sources of the tickets they have bought and sold.
