The bill – labeled AB 1720 – would make it illegal to resell a concert, theater, comedy or other live entertainment ticket (sports are not included) at a price higher than face value (the cost of the ticket plus fees from the primary ticketing source) plus 10% for shows taking place in California.

I’ve had to sell a ticket through ticketmaster because we weren’t going to be able to make it to the show. The problem is that I had to sell the ticket at a higher price just to break even with the fees that they add on.

At least with this bill we would still be allowed to sell it without taking a loss, but I wonder how it handles the case for when a ticket has been resold multiple times.

Still I think we really need a law like this if we want to tackle the scalping issue we have.

In that case, make sure you enable E2EE.

They definitely try to dissuade you from doing this with all of the “are you sure? You’ll lose access to all these features” warnings.
