CaliforniaTicket sellers: proof of purchase.
What it does
Existing law regulates ticket sellers, defined as a person who, for compensation, commission, or otherwise, sells admission tickets to sporting, musical, theater, or any other entertainment event. In this regard, existing law, among other things, prohibits specified ticket selling practices and imposes certain recordkeeping and disclosure requirements.
More detail
This bill would require a ticket seller, upon selling a ticket to an entertainment event, as defined, to immediately deliver a proof of purchase to a consumer, and would require a venue operator to honor that proof of purchase in lieu of the ticket if specified conditions are met. The bill would impose a civil penalty of up to $2,500 for a violation of these requirements, as specified.
