"Senators Propose 'Fans First' Ticketing Reform Bill to Hold Sellers Accountable"

A bipartisan group of senators has introduced the "Fans First Act," a bill aimed at reforming the event ticketing system to address issues such as price gouging, predatory practices, and lack of transparency. The legislation, supported by LiveNation, would require ticket sellers and resellers to disclose the total cost, including fees, and provide proof of purchase within 24 hours. It also mandates refunds for canceled or postponed events. The move comes in response to controversies surrounding ticket sales, including the difficulties faced by fans trying to purchase tickets for Taylor Swift's "The Eras Tour" last year.
