Concerning ticket sales.
HB 1613 requires ticket sellers in Washington to display the total "all-in price" (base price plus all fees) upfront when selling admission tickets for events like concerts or sports games. It bans the use or sale of software designed to bypass online ticket purchase limits (e.g., bot software) and prohibits reselling tickets obtained through such means. The law applies to ticket sellers and resale platforms (like StubHub), but excludes schools, nonprofits, movie theaters, and tribal entities. Its key goal is to increase price transparency and prevent deceptive practices that hide fees or enable scalping.
