Tickets, Admission - As introduced, prohibits a third-party reseller from selling or offering for sale a speculative ticket; requires the division of consumer affairs in the attorney general's office to enforce the prohibition; authorizes an individual or entity that believes that a third-party reseller has sold or offered for sale a speculative ticket to bring a cause of action. - Amends TCA Title 47.

HB 80 prohibits third-party ticket resellers (like online marketplaces) from selling or offering to sell "speculative tickets" - defined as tickets a reseller doesn’t physically possess, own, or have under contract to receive at the time of sale. The bill directly affects ticket resellers and consumers who purchase tickets through these platforms. Key provisions require Tennessee’s Division of Consumer Affairs to enforce the ban (imposing $5,000 penalties per violation) and allow consumers to sue resellers for damages, attorney fees, and court costs if they violate the law. The bill applies to all online resellers and takes effect July 1, 2025.
