TICKET Act

This bill aims to enhance transparency in event ticket sales by requiring sellers to provide comprehensive price information to consumers. It mandates that both primary and secondary market ticket issuers clearly and conspicuously display the total event ticket price , which includes all mandatory fees, in any advertisement, marketing, or price list where tickets are offered. This disclosure must occur when the ticket is first displayed to a potential buyer and at every subsequent stage of the purchasing process. Furthermore, the legislation requires ticket sellers to provide an itemized list detailing the base event ticket price and each individual event ticket fee. An "event ticket fee" is defined as any charge that must be paid in addition to the base price to obtain a ticket, encompassing service fees, delivery fees, and taxes, but excluding optional products or services. The Federal Trade Commission is tasked with enforcing these provisions, treating any violation as an unfair or deceptive act or practice under existing law.
