Summary

AB 1720 adds a new section to the Business and Professions Code that caps resale prices at the original ticket price plus 10% for events at independent venues with 3,000 seats or fewer, or certain nonprofit venues. It requires original sellers to show the original price on tickets, forces resale platforms to disclose that price, and bans hidden fees. Violations carry civil penalties up to $5,000 per ticket and can be enforced by state or local attorneys.
