No more tacked-on fees and surcharges when fans search for a live-event ticket in the state of New York: Lawmakers passed a bill that makes pricing for concerts, Broadway shows or sporting events “all-in”
New York is close to becoming the first state to ban hidden ticket fees after lawmakers passed measures aimed at boosting transparency in the marketplace.
The pending legislation has attracted intense lobbying for more than a year from ticketing and ticket-broker entities. It is seen as a rare win for consumers who, lawmakers say, have suffered from ticketing companies’ predatory pricing practices. Approved in the state senate on Thursday and the assembly on Friday, it heads to the desk of Gov. Kathy Hochul, who has until July 1 to sign the bill before the existing law on ticketing expires.
