This bill establishes new regulations regarding the resale of event tickets in Wyoming, specifically prohibiting resellers from offering tickets for resale within 1,500 feet of the event location. It defines key terms such as "original sale," "place of entertainment," "purchaser," "resale," and "reseller," and clarifies that the operator of the event is exempt from these resale restrictions. Violations of this prohibition are classified as unfair and deceptive trade practices, allowing the Attorney General to take legal action against offenders.

Additionally, the bill amends existing consumer protection laws by adding a new paragraph that explicitly states that violating the ticket resale limitations constitutes a deceptive trade practice. This allows for civil penalties and legal actions to be pursued against violators. The act is set to apply to ticket resales for events occurring on or after July 1, 2027, with the effective date also set for July 1, 2027.
