SB 338 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to the sale of tickets to a live entertainment event. (BDR 52-590)

SB 338 requires ticket providers for live entertainment events to clearly show the total price (including all fees) before purchase, prohibits hiding or misrepresenting fees, and mandates full refunds within 30 days if an event is canceled. It aligns with a new federal rule by banning misleading pricing practices and ensuring upfront transparency for consumers. Violations trigger civil penalties, increased damages for affected buyers, and criminal charges for willful breaches. The law applies to all ticket sellers - both primary providers and secondary markets - and replaces older disclosure rules for resellers.
