H.R. 1402 · Commerce
TICKET Act
Introduced Feb 18, 2025 · Read twice. Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 163.
What does this mean?

If you buy tickets to concerts, sports games, or shows—whether from the original seller or someone reselling them—the seller would have to show you the full price upfront, including all fees, instead of tacking on extra charges right before checkout. Sellers also can't advertise or sell a ticket they don't actually have in hand (or a guaranteed right to), which is meant to stop people from selling tickets that don't really exist yet. If an event gets canceled or postponed, you'd be entitled to your money back. The Federal Trade Commission, the government agency that polices unfair business practices, would be responsible for making sure ticket sellers follow these rules.
