Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

4 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.

Full refunds when events cancel

If an event is cancelled and the rights holder or sponsor publicly announces it, the seller must refund you the full amount you paid. This includes all fees and government charges. The refund must be issued within 30 days of that public notice. No refund is required if the cancellation is due to a declared emergency, an extraordinary event beyond the seller’s control, or other force majeure. For outdoor events sold as happening despite bad weather, refunds are not required for weather cancellations unless the weather is extreme or dangerous.

Private lawsuits limited for tickets

The law removes an older ticket rule and replaces it with the new statewide framework. It also narrows one private lawsuit path for ticket‑rule violations, so you cannot use that specific civil‑action option for these new ticket sections. Consumers must rely on other enforcement tools, including state action and the complaint hotline.

Clear upfront ticket prices and fees

Ticket sellers must show the total price clearly and more prominently than any other price. The total must include all mandatory fees. They can leave out taxes, shipping, and optional add‑ons at first, but must tell you the fee’s purpose, amount, what it covers, and the final amount before you agree to buy. Sellers cannot lie about any fee, its purpose, whether it is refundable, or what it covers. These rules apply to primary sellers, resellers, and ticket exchanges.

Stronger enforcement for ticket rules

Breaking the ticket rules is a deceptive trade practice. The Attorney General’s Bureau of Consumer Protection must run a toll‑free hotline and a website so you can file complaints. Knowing violations are crimes: a misdemeanor in most cases. If the sale involves a government‑run or public‑private venue, willful and knowing violations are a gross misdemeanor.
