Ticket Resale Laws — General Overview
What types of resale regulations exist?
Common regulatory approaches include:
Requirements | Restrictions |
|---|---|
Licensing Requirements | Some states require professional resellers to obtain licenses |
Disclosure Requirements | Certain jurisdictions require disclosure of face value or seating information |
Price Restrictions | A small number of jurisdictions historically imposed resale price caps (many have since been repealed) |
Venue Restrictions | Some venues prohibit resale within certain distances of the event site |
Do ticket resale laws vary by state?
Yes. Ticket resale regulations vary significantly across the United States — sometimes even by city or venue. While most states allow resale at market prices, others impose rules on disclosure, licensing, or resale methods. Participants and resale partners are responsible for complying with applicable regulations.
