Bill > SB3678

This bill amends the Ticket Sale and Resale Act in Illinois. The key provisions are: 1. It removes certain provisions from the previous bill related to refunds for cancelled or postponed events, and representations made in promotional materials without consent. 2. It prohibits the sale of tickets by persons or entities who do not have actual or constructive possession of the tickets, but allows for services to obtain tickets on a consumer's behalf if certain requirements are met, such as disclosing the total price and that the purchase does not guarantee a ticket. 3. It requires ticket issuers, brokers, and resale marketplaces to clearly disclose the total ticket price, event details, refund policies, and delivery information before a purchase is made. 4. It defines key terms like "base event ticket price," "event ticket fee," "ticket broker," and "ticket resale marketplace." 5. It increases the maximum fine for violations from $5,000 to $5,000 per offense, and applies this higher fine to the new disclosure requirements.
