Bill > SB338

This bill revises regulations for selling tickets to live entertainment events by implementing new transparency and consumer protection requirements. It requires ticket providers (which include primary sellers, resellers, and secondary ticket exchanges) to clearly and conspicuously disclose the total price of a ticket upfront, including all mandatory fees, while allowing exclusions for governmental charges, shipping costs, and optional services. The bill mandates that the total price must be displayed more prominently than other pricing information and requires ticket providers to explain the nature and purpose of any additional fees before a purchase is completed. Additionally, the bill establishes that ticket providers must provide full refunds, including all fees and governmental charges, if an event is cancelled, with some exceptions for extraordinary circumstances like natural disasters or force majeure events. Violations of these new provisions will be considered deceptive trade practices, potentially subjecting ticket providers to civil and criminal penalties. The bill aligns with a recent Federal Trade Commission rule on unfair or deceptive fees and aims to provide consumers with more transparent and fair ticket purchasing experiences by preventing hidden fees and ensuring clear pricing disclosure.
