Bill > AB431

This bill revises Nevada's laws regarding ticket sales and resales, introducing several new consumer protections for ticket purchases. The bill prohibits primary ticket providers from limiting ticket resale to only one reseller or secondary ticket exchange, requires ticket providers to disclose the total price including all fees upfront, and prevents ticket providers from holding tickets for delivery more than 24 hours after purchase. The legislation defines these actions as deceptive trade practices, allowing consumers and regulatory bodies like the Attorney General to take legal action against violators. Specifically, the bill allows injured parties to file civil lawsuits with potential damages ranging from $1,000 for a first violation to $5,000 and punitive damages for subsequent violations. A key definitional change is that someone who purchases a ticket initially on behalf of another person is not considered a "reseller." The bill also maintains existing criminal penalties, with violations potentially being classified as misdemeanors or gross misdemeanors, particularly for tickets to entertainment facilities operated by governmental entities or public-private partnerships. Overall, the legislation aims to increase transparency and fairness in ticket sales and resales, giving consumers more flexibility and information when purchasing event tickets.
