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.
SB 917 prohibits third-party ticket resellers (like online platforms) from selling or listing "speculative tickets" - tickets they don’t physically possess, own, or have under contract to receive at the time of sale. It directly affects online ticket marketplaces and resellers who sell tickets before securing them. The law requires Tennessee’s Attorney General’s Consumer Affairs division to enforce the rule, investigate consumer complaints, and impose a $5,000 penalty per violation for each prohibited sale or listing. The law takes effect July 1, 2025, applying to all ticket resales meeting the defined "speculative ticket" criteria.
