Study on Concession Pricing at Publicly Subsidized Sports and Concert Venues.

This Act mandates the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to conduct a nationwide study on the pricing of food and beverages at major stadiums and arenas that received public funding. The goal is to compare these concession prices with those in surrounding communities and analyze pricing practices like dynamic pricing and transparency. The findings will lead to recommendations aimed at making event concessions more affordable for the average American family.
Key points
The FTC is required to investigate why concession prices at major events (sports, concerts) are often significantly higher than local community prices.
The study focuses specifically on venues that benefited from public subsidies, such as tax credits or grants.
Within one year, the FTC must report to Congress with results and proposals for legislative or regulatory actions to improve consumer affordability and price transparency.
