Bill Summary
This bill requires, as defined in current law, a person, reseller, ticket broker, ticket issuer, and ticket resale website to disclose the total cost of a ticket, including all ancillary fees, including any service charge, to be paid in order to complete the purchase of a ticket. This is to be disclosed in a clear and conspicuous manner, in dollars, to the ticket purchaser. If a ticket is sold through a website, the information required to be disclosed is to be displayed prior to the ticket being selected for purchase. The information disclosed is not to be false or misleading, and is not to be presented more prominently or in the same or larger size as the total price. Moreover, the price of a ticket sold through a website is not to increase during the purchase process, excluding reasonable fees for delivery of non-electronic tickets based on the delivery method selected by the purchaser prior to payment for the ticket. Additionally, if a price is charged for admission to a venue, a place of entertainment, or their agent, representative, employee or licensee, cannot exact, demand, accept, or receive, directly or indirectly, any premium or price in excess of the set price plus lawful taxes whether designated as price, gratuity, or otherwise. However, nothing is to be construed to prohibit: (1) a reasonable service charge by the place of entertainment or an agent in charge of special services for the place of entertainment, including, but not limited to, sales away from the box office, credit card sales, or delivery; or (2) a place of entertainment or its agent from offering initial sale tickets by means of an auction. A reasonable and actual cost for the physical delivery of tickets may be charged by a seller or reseller based on the method of delivery selected by the buyer, provided, however, that no delivery fee is to be charged by a seller or reseller for tickets delivered electronically or tickets that may be printed independently by the buyer.
AI Summary
This bill requires anyone selling tickets, including individuals, resellers, ticket brokers, ticket issuers, and ticket resale websites, to clearly and conspicuously display the total cost of a ticket in dollars, including all extra fees like service charges, before a purchase is finalized. For online sales, this information must be shown before the ticket is selected. The bill also prohibits the ticket price from increasing during the checkout process, except for reasonable delivery fees for physical tickets based on the chosen delivery method. Furthermore, venues and their representatives are forbidden from charging more than the set ticket price plus lawful taxes, though exceptions are made for reasonable service charges for special services like credit card sales or delivery, and for venues offering initial ticket sales through auctions. Sellers and resellers can charge actual costs for physical ticket delivery, but not for electronic tickets or tickets that can be printed by the buyer.
