LD 913 Maine Senate · 132nd Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act To Prohibit Ticket Sellers From Prohibiting The Transfer Of Tickets To Third Parties

LD 913 prohibits ticket sellers from including terms that prevent buyers from transferring tickets to others (with or without payment) without permission or an added fee. If a seller’s system blocks transfers, they must offer a transferable ticket option at purchase without extra cost. The bill also bans denying event entry solely because a ticket was resold. Exceptions apply to student tickets for public college events and small venues (3,500 seats or fewer) that provide written notice to the state’s Commissioner of Administrative and Financial Services.
