Washington, D.C. (May 28, 2024) – The
Transparency in Charges for Key Events Ticketing (TICKET) Act,
legislation recently passed by the United States House of
Representatives, aims to reform the ticketing industry and enhance
transparency for consumers. Introduced in 2023 by Representatives
Jan Schakowsky (IL-09) and Gus Bilirakis (FL-12), the TICKET Act
received considerable bipartisan support, passing the House with a
vote of 388-24 in May 2024, following unanimous approval by the
House Energy and Commerce Committee in December 2023.
While the House has passed the TICKET Act, it still needs to be
passed by the Senate before reaching the president's desk for
signature. If enacted, the legislation will mandate that ticket
sellers display all-inclusive pricing upfront, including all
additional fees and taxes, in advertisements, marketing, and
promotional materials, as well as on any price list wherever the
ticket is offered for sale, to clearly provide the total cost
