Bill Summary

A bill for an act relating to commerce; removing a prohibition against certain ticket sales and advertisements; amending Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 325F.676, subdivision 3.

AI Summary

This bill amends Minnesota state law regarding ticket sales by removing a previous prohibition on ticket resellers advertising or selling tickets before they are made available to the public. Specifically, the bill eliminates language that previously prevented ticket resellers from advertising, offering for sale, or contracting to sell tickets before they are publicly available, unless the reseller owned the tickets through a season ticket package. The remaining provisions of the law continue to regulate ticket sales practices, such as prohibiting resellers from selling multiple copies of the same ticket, employing people to wait in line to purchase tickets, selling tickets without disclosing seat information, or circumventing ticket purchasing security measures. The bill maintains restrictions on using domain names that incorporate venue or event names without authorization, and continues to prevent individuals from disguising their identity to purchase tickets beyond allowed limits. These regulations aim to protect consumers and maintain fairness in ticket sales by preventing scalping and other potentially deceptive practices in the ticket marketplace.
