Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend chapter 704 of the laws of 1991 amending the arts and cultural affairs law and chapter 912 of the laws of 1920 relating to regulation of boxing and wrestling matches relating to tickets to places of entertainment, and chapter 151 of the laws of 2010 amending the arts and cultural affairs law relating to resale of tickets to places of entertainment, in relation to extending the effectiveness thereof

AI Summary

This bill extends existing provisions in New York State law related to ticket sales and resale for entertainment events until June 30, 2026. Specifically, the legislation modifies two previous laws that govern how artists and venues can control ticket resales, maintaining rules about printing ticket information, setting maximum premium prices, and establishing restrictions on ticket sales near entertainment venues. The bill essentially preserves current regulations that were set to expire in 2025, pushing their sunset date forward by one year. By extending these provisions, the law continues to allow artists and event organizers some control over how their tickets are resold, which can help prevent excessive price markups and unauthorized secondary market sales. The extensions apply to various types of entertainment events, including concerts, sporting events, and other performances, and ensure that existing consumer protection and ticketing regulations remain in place for another year.
