Committee hears questions on H512 resale rules, Ticketmaster role and 110% cap
Summary
An intern reported committee debate over whether H512 should regulate individual resellers, platforms or contractual sellers; lawmakers asked legislative counsel to compare other jurisdictions and questioned whether a 110% resale cap is appropriate.
Committee members received a summary of H512 on March 20, which prompted questions about how resale rules should apply to platforms and sellers.
The intern said members discussed whether the bill’s language would apply to personal sellers as well as commercial resellers, and noted that attorneys expect the attorney general could pursue individuals in some instances. A central point of debate was how to classify platforms such as Ticketmaster when they sometimes act as a primary seller and sometimes act as a reseller under contract.
Members also questioned the choice of a 110% cap on resale pricing and asked legislative counsel to prepare a comparison of how other jurisdictions regulate ticket resale and caps. The committee indicated H512 will need more follow-up and additional discussion before it moves forward.
