TICKET Act

The TICKET Act requires ticket sellers and resellers to clearly show the total price (including all fees) before purchase, ban selling tickets before having them in hand, and mandate refunds for canceled or postponed events. It prohibits misleading claims like "official" tickets unless authorized, and forces clear refund policies for consumers. The law applies to all event ticket sellers - both primary issuers and secondary platforms - for concerts, sports, and theater events with over 200 seats. Key changes include upfront price transparency, a ban on speculative sales, and standardized refund rules for cancellations or postponements. The Federal Trade Commission will enforce these rules and report on related laws within six months.
