Bill > HB06047

This bill proposes several significant regulations for ticket resellers in the entertainment industry. The legislation would impose limits on exclusive agreements between entertainment venues and ticket resellers, require transparent fee disclosure to consumers before purchase, and cap ticket resale prices at a specific percentage above the original face value. Additionally, the bill mandates that ticket resellers establish clear refund policies for cancelled live events, provide conspicuous notice of these policies at the point of purchase, and process consumer refunds within a designated time frame. The Department of Consumer Protection would be granted oversight authority and empowered to impose civil penalties on ticket resellers who fail to comply with these new requirements. By introducing these provisions, the bill aims to protect consumers from potentially unfair practices in the ticket resale market, ensuring more transparency, affordability, and accountability in ticket transactions.
