Consumers who purchase tickets to concerts, sports games, and other events are increasingly limited in their ability to resell or transfer their tickets. Some venues and promoters impose unfair restrictions on season ticket holders or use paperless ticketing systems to prevent lawful transfers. These restrictions harm consumers and facilitate monopolistic control over ticket markets, including excessive resale fees and artificial barriers to access.
 
My legislation will update Pennsylvania’s ticket resale laws to ensure that consumers can freely transfer, resell, or use tickets they purchase, while maintaining existing protections against fraud and price gouging. Additionally, the bill will address unfair venue practices that limit consumer rights and will provide clarity and transparency for both buyers and sellers.
 
Pennsylvanians should be able to use, gift, or resell the tickets they purchase, just as they can with other forms of personal property. This bill restores balance between event organizers and ticket buyers, ensuring a fair, accessible, and competitive marketplace for live events.
 
Please join me in co-sponsoring this legislation to restore fairness and consumer choice to Pennsylvania’s ticket resale laws.
