BOSS and SWIFT ACT of 2023

The BOSS and SWIFT Act of 2023 requires ticket sellers (both primary sellers like venues and secondary marketplaces like StubHub) to clearly display the total cost of tickets - including all mandatory fees - before purchase. It mandates that sellers show the base ticket price separately from fees and taxes, disclose whether a ticket is a primary or secondary sale, and prohibit misleading pricing tactics. The law also prevents sellers from double-selling seats and requires refunds if tickets aren’t delivered, with enforcement handled by the Federal Trade Commission. This affects all ticket buyers for live events, ensuring transparency in pricing from the first point of display.
