Unlock Ticketing Markets Act of 2023

Bill 118 s 1321, also known as the Unlock Ticketing Markets Act of 2023, aims to address issues within the ticketing industry by promoting competition and transparency. The bill seeks to eliminate restrictions that prevent consumers from reselling or transferring tickets to events, such as concerts or sporting events, at fair market prices.

One of the key provisions of the bill is the prohibition of ticket issuers from imposing restrictions on the resale of tickets, including limitations on where or how tickets can be resold. This is intended to give consumers more flexibility in how they can buy and sell tickets, ultimately leading to a more open and competitive ticketing market.

Additionally, the bill requires ticket issuers to disclose all fees associated with purchasing tickets upfront, rather than surprising consumers with hidden fees at checkout. This transparency is meant to empower consumers to make more informed decisions when purchasing tickets and to prevent them from being taken advantage of by ticket sellers. Overall, the Unlock Ticketing Markets Act of 2023 aims to create a more fair and competitive ticketing market that benefits consumers by giving them more control over their ticket purchases and ensuring that they are not subjected to unfair practices by ticket issuers.
