Hawaii SB1160 prohibits selling event tickets above the original price set by the primary venue ticket provider.
Hawaii SB1160 aims to protect consumers from inflated ticket prices by prohibiting the sale of event tickets above the original price charged by the primary venue ticket provider. This law targets scalpers who use software to purchase multiple tickets quickly, often leading to higher prices for consumers. The bill exempts charitable organizations and their employees or volunteers from this prohibition if the tickets are resold through a raffle, auction, or similar fundraising activity. Additionally, the bill repeals a previous statute regarding ticket broker fees and refunds.
