Summary

The law expands California’s ticket‑sale regulations to cover original sellers, resellers and online resale platforms. It forces them to register locally, keep sales records for a year, disclose exact seat locations and face prices, and provide full refunds (or specified alternatives for nonprofit events) when shows are cancelled or changed. It also bans bulk‑buying tricks, website imitation and false price or delivery claims.
