What this bill does
H.R. 3660, known as the BOSS and SWIFT ACT, aims to increase transparency and fairness in ticket sales for events like concerts and sports games. The bill requires ticket sellers, both primary and secondary, to clearly display the total cost of a ticket upfront and to itemize base prices, fees, and taxes. It also mandates that sellers provide options for refunds or comparable replacement tickets if a ticket is not delivered as promised, and prohibits deceptive user interface designs that obscure information.
The legislation affects consumers who purchase tickets and the businesses that sell them, including primary ticket sellers and secondary marketplace operators. Primary ticket sellers would be required to disclose the total number and cost of tickets available to the public and cannot prevent buyers from reselling their tickets independently or on chosen secondary marketplaces. Secondary sellers and marketplaces would face stricter disclosure rules regarding ticket availability, refunds, and their affiliation with event organizers.
This bill was introduced in the House of Representatives on May 25, 2023, and was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce. As it has only been introduced, it has not yet been voted on by the full House or the Senate, and therefore has not become law. Its next steps would involve committee review, potential amendments, and votes in the House and then the Senate.
