This bill aims to regulate the resale of event tickets in New Hampshire. It recognizes that independent live-performance venues are important to the local economy and that the secondary ticket marketplace can engage in deceptive practices. The bill proposes making it unlawful for a person to resell event tickets without prominently displaying and acknowledging certain conditions. These conditions include disclosing that the seller does not actually own the ticket, that the seller is a different entity than the venue, or that the ticket being resold is in a specific grouping. The seller must also acquire the purchaser's acknowledgment of these conditions through an affirmative act.

The bill defines "venue" as any place of exhibition or entertainment where tickets are sold. It also includes a provision for the effective date of the act, which would take effect 60 days after its passage.
