SB 1820 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to certain disclosures and other requirements and prohibited conduct relating to the sale of tickets for concerts and other events.

SB 1820 requires ticket sellers to clearly disclose the base ticket price separately from additional fees when selling tickets for concerts, sports events, and other public performances. It defines "base ticket price" as the cost of the ticket itself (excluding taxes, service fees, or delivery charges) and mandates that all fees be itemized for consumers. The bill prohibits hidden pricing tactics and applies to both primary ticket sellers (like venues or event organizers) and secondary market platforms. This transparency measure directly affects ticket buyers by making total costs clearer before purchase and impacts sellers who must adjust their pricing displays. The law creates new requirements in Texas' Business & Commerce Code under Chapter 330.
