Bill > HB967

This bill amends the Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law by adding new regulations specifically for ticket resales in Pennsylvania. The bill introduces strict fee limitations for ticket resellers, capping fees at 5% of the ticket price for both the initial purchaser and subsequent resellers. It provides precise definitions for key terms such as "purchaser" (a person buying a resale ticket), "resale" (second or subsequent ticket sale through various means), "ticket" (evidence granting entry to an entertainment event), and "ticket reseller" (a person who resells admission tickets for compensation). The new provisions will apply to ticket fees charged on or after the bill's effective date, which is 60 days after enactment. The purpose of these regulations appears to be protecting consumers from excessive ticket resale fees and creating transparency in the secondary ticket market by establishing clear, uniform pricing guidelines for ticket resales across different types of entertainment events.
