Overview

The Transparency In Charges for Key Events Ticketing Act (TICKET Act) aims to increase transparency for consumers buying event tickets. It requires ticket sellers, including those on the secondary market, to clearly display the total ticket price, including all fees, at the time the ticket is offered. The bill also prohibits the sale of tickets by entities that don’t actually possess them, while allowing for services to obtain tickets as long as they are clearly distinguished from the tickets themselves. Furthermore, it mandates refunds if events are canceled or postponed and establishes rules regarding disclosures and affiliations to prevent misleading consumers.

Key provisions

Ticket sellers must prominently display the total ticket price, including all fees, at the time of sale.
Itemized lists of base ticket prices and fees must be provided before purchase.
It’s illegal for entities without event tickets to sell or advertise them.
Services to obtain tickets must be clearly separated from the tickets themselves and not marketed as tickets.
Ticket sellers must provide a refund if events are canceled or postponed.
Restrictions on using venue names in domain names.
Prohibits stating affiliation with venues, teams, or artists unless authorized.
Requires disclosure of refund policies and how to obtain refunds.
