The law requires ticket sellers to disclose all fees upfront and prohibits resellers from selling more than one ticket. It applies to tickets purchased in Minnesota or other states for events held in Minnesota.
Minnesota's new law, inspired by frustrations around Taylor Swift concert ticket purchases, aims to protect ticket buyers with transparency measures, joining states like Maryland in offering such protections.
The bill was signed into law by Gov. Tim Walz, commemorating Taylor Swift with a reference to her birth year and album title. Representative Kelly Moller, a key advocate, acknowledged the significance of the event at First Avenue.
Ticketmaster's system crash during high demand for Swift tickets in 2022 led to the push for legislation. The law stands out as a proactive effort, particularly in the absence of federal action.
