SB 1425 Ticket Resale Rights Act; limitations on reselling tickets on Internet ticketing platform, penalty.
Introduced by: William M. Stanley, Jr. | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)
Rights to resell tickets; civil penalty. Prohibits any person that issues tickets for admission to a professional concert, professional sporting event, or professional theatrical production, open to the public for which tickets are ordinarily sold, from issuing the ticket solely through a delivery method that substantially prevents the ticket purchaser from lawfully reselling the ticket on the Internet ticketing platform of the ticket purchaser's choice. The measure also prohibits a person from being discriminated against or denied admission to an event solely on the basis that the person resold a ticket, or purchased a resold ticket, on a specific Internet ticketing platform. A person violating these prohibitions is subject to a civil penalty of not less than $1,000 nor more than $5,000. This bill is identical to HB 1825.
