This bill amends the Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law in Pennsylvania by introducing new definitions and regulations regarding the resale of tickets. Specifically, it adds a subclause to the existing definition of "unfair methods of competition" and "unfair or deceptive acts or practices," which prohibits ticket resellers from charging fees that exceed five percent of the ticket price for both the purchaser and the reseller. The bill also clarifies key terms such as "purchaser," "resale," "ticket," and "ticket reseller" to ensure a clear understanding of the regulations.

The new provisions will take effect 60 days after the bill's passage, applying specifically to fees charged for ticket resales from that date forward. This legislative change aims to protect consumers from excessive fees in the ticket resale market, thereby promoting fair competition and transparency in trade practices related to entertainment events.
