This bill mandates that any public or private entity selling electronic tickets for large public events, defined as those accommodating at least five thousand people, must provide a paper ticket free of charge upon request. The paper ticket can either be delivered to the purchaser before the event or made available for printing. The bill aims to ensure that attendees have access to a physical ticket if desired.
To enforce compliance, the bill designates the Attorney General as the enforcing authority and establishes a civil penalty for violations. Specifically, entities that fail to provide the required paper tickets will face a penalty of ten dollars for each ticket sold at the event where the violation occurred. The collected penalties will be directed to the State Treasurer for distribution as outlined in the Nebraska Constitution.
