ARCalifornia has approved new regulations aimed at curbing speculative ticket reselling and protecting consumers. The law, known as AB 1349, prohibits the sale of tickets that sellers do not legally possess or guarantee. It requires resellers to prove they have paid for the tickets, received confirmation of purchase, and have a legal right to deliver them. The legislation also targets bots, fake accounts, and websites mimicking official channels to ensure transparency in ticket availability. Violations could result in buyers seeking compensation equivalent to double the ticket price, plus non-refundable expenses like travel and lodging. Platforms facilitating these transactions face specific obligations under the law.
