Wyoming proposal would limit ticket resale prices for public events

People would be barred from offering or reselling tickets above a percentage of their original or face price. This covers public, ticketed events at Wyoming entertainment venues, except ski areas and movie theaters. The draft leaves the percentage blank. The price shown on the ticket sets its original value; if no price is shown, the first sale price applies. The rule would apply to ticket resales for events taking place on or after July 1, 2027.

A person who breaks the resale price rule would commit an unfair and deceptive trade practice. This applies to violations of the proposed ticket resale price rule. Under the business sales rule, a violation must be knowing and connected to a sale to a consumer. This would take effect July 1, 2027, and apply to ticket resales for events taking place on or after that date.
