Bill > H4276

This bill aims to secure and improve fans' tickets by making the following key changes: 1. It requires that paperless ticketing systems offer consumers the option to purchase transferable tickets that can be resold at any price and without additional fees. The established price for any given ticket must be the same regardless of its form or transferability. 2. It exempts certain membership passes offered by professional sports organizations from the requirement to allow independent ticket transferability, provided the passes meet specific criteria. 3. It modifies the licensing requirements for businesses engaged in ticket resale, including introducing a bond requirement and fee waivers for businesses that do not charge fees above the face value. 4. It prohibits the use of "ticket purchasing software" that bypasses security measures to purchase tickets, and imposes civil penalties and potential license revocation for violations. 5. It mandates that ticket sellers provide full refunds to purchasers in certain circumstances, such as event cancellation or non-delivery of tickets, and requires clear and conspicuous disclosure of ticket prices and fees. 6. It requires ticket resellers to maintain detailed records of ticket prices and sources.
