Ticket Price Transparency: Ending Hidden Fees for Major Events.
The TICKET Act mandates that ticket sellers, including primary issuers and resellers, must display the total, final price of an event ticket, including all mandatory fees, from the very first advertisement. This ensures consumers can compare costs accurately without encountering surprise charges during checkout. Sellers must also provide an itemized breakdown of all fees.
Key points
Sellers must clearly show the total ticket price (including service fees, taxes, and delivery charges) in every advertisement and price list.
Buyers will see an itemized breakdown of the base price and all mandatory fees at the start of the purchasing process.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will enforce these rules, protecting consumers from deceptive pricing practices.
The rules apply to tickets for large events like concerts, performances, and sporting events in venues with a capacity exceeding 200 people.
