Bill > HB3838

This bill amends the Ticket Sale and Resale Act to address ticket pricing transparency and prevent price manipulation during ticket purchases. Specifically, the bill requires ticket sellers, resellers, and brokers to display the full price of a ticket, including all fees, from the moment the price is first shown to a potential purchaser, and prohibits increasing the ticket price during the transaction. The bill defines and explicitly bans "dynamic pricing," which is a practice where ticket prices can fluctuate based on demand or other factors. By mandating upfront, fixed pricing, the legislation aims to protect consumers from unexpected price increases and provide more clarity in ticket sales. This change applies to tickets for various events such as sporting events, theater performances, and other entertainment, and is intended to create a more transparent and fair ticketing marketplace for consumers by ensuring they know the total cost of a ticket before completing a purchase.
