Bill > SB0292

This bill updates Utah's ticketing laws by modifying definitions and establishing new regulations for ticket sales, with a focus on e-tickets and consumer protection. The bill introduces a definition for "e-ticket" as digital proof of event entry delivered electronically and adds new provisions prohibiting certain deceptive practices in ticket sales. It makes it unlawful for non-primary ticket sellers to misrepresent themselves as primary sellers, which includes restrictions on using event names in website domains or mimicking official websites. The bill also mandates that ticket sellers must deliver tickets as agreed upon and prohibits selling multiple copies of the same ticket or using software to circumvent ticket purchasing limits. Importantly, the bill requires primary ticket sellers and resellers to deliver e-tickets to consumers before an event begins, with an exception for season tickets. If a person violates these provisions and causes harm to an individual, the bill provides for a legal cause of action that could result in treble damages, costs, and attorney fees. The bill will take effect on May 7, 2025, and aims to create more transparency and fairness in ticket sales by protecting consumers from fraudulent or deceptive practices.
