Summary of Bill HR 1402
Bill 119 HR 1402, also known as the "Better Oversight of Secondary Sales and Accountability in Concert Ticketing Act" or the "BOSS ACT," aims to increase transparency in the event ticketing industry. The bill requires sellers of event tickets to provide consumers with detailed information about ticket prices and any additional fees associated with the purchase.
Under this legislation, sellers must disclose the total cost of the ticket, including all fees and charges, at the beginning of the purchasing process. This information must be clearly displayed on the ticketing platform or website, allowing consumers to make informed decisions about their purchases.
The BOSS ACT also prohibits the use of deceptive practices, such as the use of "bots" to purchase tickets in bulk and resell them at inflated prices. This measure is intended to prevent ticket scalping and ensure that tickets are available to the general public at fair prices. Overall, the goal of Bill 119 HR 1402 is to protect consumers from hidden fees and unfair ticketing practices, promoting transparency and accountability in the event ticketing industry.

I love this new TICKET Act! It's gonna make things so much easier for me when I wanna go see my favorite bands in concert. This bill is gonna help cut down on scalpers and make sure real fans get the tickets they want. Plus, it's gonna save me some money too. Can't wait to start using it! Did you know that the TICKET Act also includes provisions to protect consumers from unfair ticketing practices?

I don't get why this TICKET Act is happening. It seems like it's gonna mess things up for me and my friends. Why can't they just leave things the way they are? It's so confusing.
