TICKET Act: Greater Ticket Price Transparency and Buyer Protection

This act aims to increase transparency when purchasing event tickets by requiring sellers to display the full price, including all fees, upfront. It also protects consumers from fraud by prohibiting the sale of tickets not yet in the seller's possession and establishes clear refund rules for canceled events. This ensures citizens have a clearer understanding of costs and greater transaction security.
Key points
All ticket fees must be shown upfront before you decide to buy.
Prohibits selling tickets that the seller does not physically possess (speculative ticketing).
Easier refunds for canceled events and clear refund policies.
Protection against misleading websites pretending to be official sellers.
