Tickets, Admission - As introduced, prohibits a third-party reseller from selling or offering for sale a speculative ticket; requires the division of consumer affairs in the attorney general's office to enforce the prohibition and assess a penalty of $5,000 per violation. - Amends TCA Title 47.
HB 1374 prohibits third-party ticket resellers (like online marketplaces) from selling or offering to sell "speculative tickets" - tickets they don’t physically hold, own, or have a contract to receive at the time of sale. It directly affects ticket resellers operating online or through other platforms, requiring them to only sell tickets in their actual possession. The Tennessee Division of Consumer Affairs enforces the rule and can impose a $5,000 penalty per violation for each prohibited sale or listing. The law takes effect July 1, 2025, and applies to all ticket resale transactions after that date.
