Ticketing Delivery Amendments

SB 292 amends Utah's ticketing law to require primary ticket sellers and resellers to deliver e-tickets to consumers before an event begins. It directly affects ticket buyers (consumers) and businesses selling tickets, including resellers and ticket aggregators. Key provisions include making it unlawful to fail to deliver e-tickets, granting consumers a legal claim for damages if harmed by violations, and awarding triple damages plus fees if a court finds a violation. The law applies to single-event tickets but excludes season tickets, taking effect on May 7, 2025.
