This bill aims to enhance consumer protection in ticket sales by establishing clear disclosure requirements and prohibitions for operators, ticket resellers, and online ticket marketplaces. It mandates that these entities provide transparent information regarding the total cost of tickets, including all fees and surcharges, and requires them to disclose specific details about the tickets being sold, such as the assigned seat and refund policies. Additionally, the bill prohibits certain practices, such as selling multiple copies of the same ticket and circumventing purchasing limits, to ensure fair access to tickets for consumers.

The bill also empowers the commissioner of commerce to enforce these regulations and requires online ticket marketplaces to disclose information about their technology and methods in cases of alleged violations. The new legal provisions will take effect on January 1, 2025, and will apply to all tickets sold from that date forward. Overall, the legislation seeks to create a more transparent and equitable ticket sales environment for consumers in Minnesota.
