Require paper tickets for certain large public events
LB 1198 requires event sellers to provide physical paper tickets free of charge upon request for large public events (defined as those holding at least 5,000 people). This directly affects ticket sellers - both public and private entities - offering electronic tickets for events meeting the capacity threshold. The law mandates that paper tickets must be delivered to buyers before the event or made available for printing, with the Attorney General enforcing compliance. Violations carry a civil penalty of $10 per ticket sold at the affected event, with collected fines going to the state treasury.
