The TICKET Act regulates ticket sales practices in commerce.
The problem
Ticket sales lack consistent consumer protections. Hidden fees, deceptive pricing, and unclear terms frustrate buyers and harm market fairness.
The proposal
The bill establishes rules for ticket sellers to show all costs upfront, prevent misleading advertising, and requires clear disclosure of fees before purchase.
The impact
Consumers gain better price transparency. Ticket sellers must change business practices. Ticket marketplaces face new compliance requirements.
Requiring all fees shown upfront prevents surprise charges at checkout. Customers can compare true total prices before deciding to buy.
Bans deceptive pricing practices where companies hide service charges until the final screen. Makes the ticket market more honest and fair.
Rules apply equally to all sellers. Small resellers and large platforms follow the same transparency standards, promoting fair competition.
Ticket sellers must update systems to display fees upfront and track compliance. These tech and administrative costs may get passed to consumers through higher prices.
Determining what counts as deceptive requires clear definitions. Inconsistent enforcement across states or platforms could create confusion and legal disputes.
If major platforms don't comply or find workarounds, consumers may still face confusion. International sellers may operate outside U.S. rules.
Small ticket sellers and local venues may struggle to meet new compliance rules, potentially reducing competition and market diversity.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported.
