[Achilles.]

Thank you queens.

[Princess Aurora]

This is something useful

[LVP]

That's something that we have in Europe, you can't sell the ticket for higher price than you bought it 

[Maroonx]

time to disolve ticketmaster x

[NoOneDiesFromLove]

Ticket resellers will fall 

[Tudors]

This will good if the proposals become law and are enforced.

 

Ticket Sales Transparency:

• Mandates full disclosure of ticket costs, including fees, at the initial selection stage.
• Requires clear breakdown of ticket costs and terms of purchase.
• Specifies seating details to prevent misrepresentation.
• Ensures sellers identify whether they are the original seller.

Consumer Protection:

• Strengthens enforcement of the BOTS Act against bot usage.
• Mandates proof of purchase to consumers within 24 hours.
• Requires full refunds for event cancellations.
• Initiates a GAO study for further marketplace analysis.

Stopping Bad Actors:

• Imposes civil penalties on illegal resellers.
• Establishes a dedicated complaint-reporting website for fans.
• Empowers the FTC and state attorneys general for enforcement.
• Prohibits speculative tickets.
• Prevents deceptive websites and fraudulent sellers.
• Mandates reporting of BOTS Act violations to the FTC by ticketing companies.
• Requires the FBI to share ticketing violation information.

sia & lorde signing as if they high demand performers.

 

OT: good but time to apply pressure 

[Domination]

Seriously  

 

Ticket prices are insane these days.

Good but why are the other main pop girls silent?

[Mezik]

It really should be as simple banning reselling of tickets. Oh you can't go now? The vendor refunds you and puts it back on sale for original price. It's not that complicated.

Taylor also signed but you can't see the signature like on her CDs 

[XtinaStripped]

This needs to happen like 10 years ago already. It's just getting more & more ridiculous.

And this is for almost every other date. It's ridiculous. Did you pay 800 quid for nose bleeds seats?
