This bill amends the Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law in Pennsylvania by introducing new definitions related to the resale of tickets. Specifically, it adds a subclause that defines "unfair methods of competition" and "unfair or deceptive acts or practices" to include the imposition of fees on ticket resales that exceed certain limits. The bill stipulates that the fee charged to a purchaser of a ticket may not exceed five percent of the ticket price, and similarly, the fee charged by the ticket reseller must also adhere to this five percent cap.
Additionally, the bill provides definitions for key terms such as "purchaser," "resale," "ticket," and "ticket reseller," clarifying the scope of the law. The provisions outlined in this amendment will apply to any fees charged for ticket resales on or after the effective date of the legislation, which is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
