Limiting amount event tickets can be sold for above original price

HB 4959 prohibits reselling event tickets (such as for concerts or sporting events) in West Virginia at more than a 3% markup above the ticket's original face value. This bill directly affects ticket resellers, including secondary market platforms, by restricting how much they can charge above the original price. The key provision amends West Virginia's consumer protection code to classify resales exceeding this 3% limit as an unfair practice. The law aims to prevent excessive price increases for event attendees without banning ticket resales entirely. It applies to all ticketed events within the state and focuses on capping reseller markups at a fixed percentage.
