This bill establishes new consumer protection requirements for resellers of event tickets in Wyoming. It mandates that resellers guarantee a full refund of the ticket price under specific conditions, including event cancellation, counterfeit tickets, or failure of the ticket to grant admission as advertised. The bill defines key terms such as "reseller," "original sale," and "place of entertainment," and specifies that violations of the refund guarantee will be considered an unfair trade practice. Additionally, it clarifies that the refund guarantee does not apply if the original seller provides a transferable refund guarantee that meets the same requirements.

To enforce these provisions, the bill amends existing law to classify violations of the new ticket refund guarantee as deceptive trade practices, allowing the Attorney General to take legal action against offenders. The bill outlines potential penalties for violations, including civil penalties and the recovery of attorney fees. The act will apply to ticket resales for events occurring on or after July 1, 2027, and will take effect on that same date.
