TICKET Act

The TICKET Act requires ticket sellers (both primary issuers and secondary markets like StubHub) to clearly show the total price of an event ticket - including all fees - before a customer selects a ticket. It mandates that sellers display the base ticket price and an itemized list of all fees (like service or delivery charges) in advertisements and at the start of every purchase transaction. Sellers must also disclose if they don’t currently hold the physical tickets (e.g., "speculative" sales) before the customer completes a purchase. This law aims to prevent hidden fees and misleading pricing in ticket sales, enforced by the Federal Trade Commission.
