In a significant move towards ticketing reform, a critical committee in the U.S. House of Representatives has approved two bills aimed at federal-level reformation of ticketing. This development brings substantive reform closer than ever before, with both chambers having ticket reform packages on the cusp of full votes.
In a parallel development, the Fans First Act has been introduced in the Senate by six US Senators. The bipartisan bill aims to increase transparency in ticketing sales and address issues such as speculative ticket pricing, junk fees, and anti-trust violations. The act seeks to improve price transparency for tickets and resellers, strengthen the Better Online Ticket Sales.
The Recording Academy has applauded the introduction of the Fans First Act, urging Congress to act on the bill to protect both artists and fans. The act would also impose civil penalties on resellers engaging in illegal ticket sale practices. The legislation is seen as a way to rebuild trust in the ticketing system and protect consumers from price gouging and predatory practices.
The proposed legislation has received support from stakeholders such as Live Nation, the National Independent Venue Association, and the National Independent Talent Organization. However, it's worth noting that the bill lacks support from fan advocacy organizations and is primarily backed by industry insiders. Despite the failures of Ticketmaster's sale process for Taylor Swift's tour, the bill aims to give more control to industry insiders.
