Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

Stronger ticket enforcement, fewer private suits

The law treats knowing ticket rule violations as deceptive trade practices and raises criminal penalties. Knowing violations are misdemeanors; willful violations tied to government‑run or public‑private venues are gross misdemeanors. The Attorney General’s office must run a toll‑free hotline and a website to take complaints and provide forms. Consumers cannot bring private lawsuits under sections 2–5; enforcement runs through consumer‑protection agencies and criminal charges.

Upfront ticket prices and fee honesty

Ticket sellers must show the total price up front, and it must be the most visible price. The total must include all required fees. Sellers may leave out taxes, shipping, and optional add‑ons from that total, but they must name each excluded charge and show your final payment before you buy. They cannot misstate what any fee is for or whether it is refundable. Disclosures must be clear, easy to see or hear, and not hidden online. These rules cover all ticket sellers and exchanges, and the state removed an older reseller rule to use this new system.

30-day refunds for canceled events

If an event is canceled, the seller must refund the full amount you paid, including all fees and taxes, within 30 days after the public notice. No refund is required if the cancellation is due to a declared emergency or another unforeseeable event beyond the seller’s control. For outdoor or open‑air multi‑day events that say they happen rain or shine, the seller may refuse refunds for bad weather consistent with those terms. Refunds still apply when extreme or dangerous weather causes the cancellation.
