Bill > SB2015

This bill amends the Ticket Sale and Resale Act to introduce new regulations for ticket sales and resales in Illinois. The bill establishes comprehensive requirements for ticket brokers, resellers, and ticket resale marketplaces, mandating clear and upfront disclosures about ticket pricing, fees, event details, and refund policies. Key provisions include prohibiting the sale of tickets without actual or constructive possession, requiring ticket sellers to display the total ticket price prominently, disclose venue location and seat information, provide detailed refund policies, and specify ticket delivery methods. The bill introduces new definitions for terms like "base event ticket price," "event ticket fee," and "ticket broker" to provide clarity. Ticket sellers must now provide an itemized breakdown of ticket costs, including base price and additional fees, and must clearly state that they are not the original ticket vendor. Violations of these provisions can result in fines up to $5,000 for each offense. The legislation aims to increase transparency in ticket sales, protect consumers from misleading practices, and ensure that buyers have comprehensive information before purchasing event tickets.
