New Ticket Sales Rules: No Hidden Fees, No Speculation

This act aims to protect event ticket buyers by requiring full price disclosure from the start of the purchase process. It also bans the sale of tickets not physically possessed by the seller and establishes clear refund rules for canceled or postponed events, enhancing consumer financial security.
Key points
No more hidden fees: Sellers must display the total ticket price, including all fees, from the very beginning.
Ban on speculative ticketing: It's illegal to sell tickets you don't physically possess, curbing unfair practices.
Easier refunds: The act guarantees full refunds for canceled events and clear rules for postponed ones.
Increased transparency: Sellers must clearly disclose their refund policy and whether they are official event partners.
