H.R. 1402: TICKET Act
Sponsor
Gus Bilirakis
Republican · FL-12
What H.R. 1402 does
H.R. 1402 would require sellers of tickets to concerts, performances and sporting events, including resellers, to show the total price when a ticket is first displayed and throughout the purchase, with an itemized list of the base price and each fee before the buyer completes the purchase. The total price would also have to appear in advertising and price lists.
Sellers and exchanges that do not have actual or constructive possession of a ticket could not sell or advertise it, though they could offer a service to obtain a ticket if they clearly say it is not a ticket. Sellers would have to refund the total ticket price if an event is canceled or postponed, and the Federal Trade Commission would enforce the rules.
