TICKET Act

What this bill does

  • Ticket sellers must clearly display the total price upfront when showing tickets for concerts, sports, and similar events.
  • Concert venues, secondary market sellers, ticket exchanges, and online ticket platforms are required to follow these rules.
  • The FTC enforces the rules; sellers must refund full price if events are canceled or postponed.

  1. 01

    How would requiring upfront total pricing affect ticket affordability and venue revenue compared to current fee structures?

  2. 02

    Which ticket sellers—primary vendors, resellers, or both—should bear responsibility for displaying and justifying each fee component?

  3. 03

    What enforcement mechanisms would effectively prevent sellers from circumventing transparent pricing rules without creating compliance barriers for smaller venues?
