The bill amends the Michigan Consumer Protection Act by adding new provisions to enhance consumer protections related to the sale of tickets for entertainment events. It introduces Section 3j, which prohibits individuals or entities engaged in trade or commerce from using misleading domain names or website designs that could confuse consumers regarding the identity of the ticket seller. Additionally, it mandates that sellers disclose the total price of tickets, including any ancillary fees, and prohibits them from increasing the ticket price after it has been initially displayed, with certain exceptions.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies definitions related to entertainment events and establishes specific requirements for ticket sellers, such as the need to present fees and charges in a clear and conspicuous manner. The amendments aim to prevent deceptive practices in the ticketing industry, ensuring that consumers are fully informed about the costs associated with purchasing tickets and the identity of the sellers. Overall, these changes are intended to promote transparency and fairness in the marketplace for entertainment tickets.
