Arizona, where Swift kicked off the 時代s 小旅行する in March 2023 with two shows in Glendale, recently passed a 法律 愛称d the?'Taylor Swift 行為／法令／行動する' that 無法者s using 自動化するd ソフトウェア to buy gobs of event tickets only to scalp them at exorbitant prices.
This is 正確に／まさに what happened in November 2022 during the Ticketmaster pre-sale for Swift's 小旅行する. When 場所／位置 衝突，墜落s and long waits 疫病／悩ますd the 過程 for millions of fans,?many paid thousands of dollars to buy them through resellers, also known as 第２位 販売人s, or were tricked by 場所／位置s selling 偽の tickets.
A main goal of 発生地s and musicians ロビーing the 政府 is to 無法者 思索的な sales when a 第２位 販売人 申し込む／申し出s a ticket they do not yet have. In some 事例／患者s, they ask thousands of dollars for a ticket that they can buy later from the 最初の／主要な 販売人 for $200 or いっそう少なく and 得る the 利益（をあげる）.
In Maryland, a new 法律 類似の to Arizona's will make 思索的な ticket sales 違法な starting July 1.
'This is a 抱擁する first step,' said Audrey 直す／買収する，八百長をする Schaefer, communications director for I.M.P., the company that operates Maryland's Merriweather 地位，任命する Pavilion and other 発生地s that often receive （民事の）告訴s if 消費者s 支払う／賃金 high prices or fail to receive 約束d tickets.
いわゆる spec tickets often are advertised with 警告s such as 'only 4 left!,' 誤って 示唆するing to 消費者s that they should buy すぐに or 行方不明になる out. In some 事例／患者s, actual tickets never turn up or 仲買人s send fraudulent tickets.?

In Illinois, a 禁止（する） on 思索的な tickets has passed the 明言する／公表する 上院. The Colorado House has （疑いを）晴らすd 法律制定 to 要求する more pricing transparency and a 禁止（する） on websites designed to mimic 合法的 ticket sales 場所／位置s, which may trick 消費者s into thinking they are buying 直接／まっすぐに from a 発生地.
At the same time, 発生地s and the world's biggest musicians are 押し進めるing for 連邦の 改革（する）s.
On Thursday, 250 artists 含むing Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell, Green Day and 落ちる Out Boy 発言する／表明するd support for the Fans First 行為／法令／行動する, a 法案 未解決の in the U.S. 上院 that 支えるs a 2016 法律 的ing bots on ticket 場所／位置s.?
No 投票（する）s on the 手段 have been scheduled, and it has just seven cosponsors.
If passed, the 法律制定 would 妨げる 思索的な ticket sales when a 販売人 d oes not have a ticket,?無法者 deceptive websites and 強化する 施行 of 刑罰，罰則s for bot usage to scoop up tickets.???
The Fans First 行為／法令／行動する would also 要求する 'all-in' pricing, the practice of pricing a ticket's cost?with 料金s upfront and not springing hidden 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金s on the 消費者 at checkout.
'We are joining together to say that the 現在の system is broken,' the artists said in a letter to congressional sponsors of the 法律制定. 'Predatory resellers and 第２位 壇・綱領・公約s engage in deceptive ticketing practices to inflate ticket prices and 奪う fans of the chance to see their favorite artists at a fair price.'
大統領 Joe Biden got?Ticketmaster and SeatGeek to commit to いわゆる 'all-in' or 'upfront' pricing of tickets?at a White House event last June as part of his 成果／努力 to 割れ目 負かす／撃墜する on what he calls 'junk 料金s' 課すd by ticket companies, banks, 航空機によるs and others.

While Ticketmaster has がまんするd by its 誓約（する） to show the real price for tickets on its 場所／位置,?SeatGeek was 侮辱する／軽蔑するing its かかわり合い?as soon as two days after the event with Biden, Rolling 石／投石する 報告（する）／憶測d.
SeatGeek has gotten around this pesky wrinkle in their 商売／仕事 model by 許すing their 使用者s to toggle on a 'price 含むing 料金s' setting, which will show the actual sticker shock.
Ticket-selling 壇・綱領・公約s said they supported some of the 提案するd 法律を制定する changes, 含むing 無法者ing 思索的な sales.?
Ticketmaster said it 支援するd 禁止（する）s on 思索的な sales and deceptive websites, 同様に as better 施行 of anti-bot 法律制定.?

If a 買い手 has an 問題／発行する, 'S tubHub will find an 同等（の） or better ticket to get a 買い手 into an event, or 供給する a 十分な refund.'
StubHub said it supports U.S. House and 上院 見解／翻訳／版s of a 法案 called the Ticket 行為／法令／行動する. The House 見解／翻訳／版 would 無法者 思索的な ticketing, の中で other practices, while the 上院 手段 calls for all-in pricing.
発生地s and artist groups have formed a 連合 called 直す／買収する，八百長をする the Tix, led by the 国家の 独立した・無所属 発生地 協会 (NIVA), that is 押し進めるing for passage of the Fans First 行為／法令／行動する, which they say 申し込む／申し出s the strongest 保護s for ticket 買い手s.
Stephen Parker, (n)役員／(a)執行力のある director of NIVA, said that 法案 is 'the most fan- and artist-friendly ticketing 法律制定 that 議会 has ever introduced.'
