Ticket sellers would have to show the full price from the start, including required fees. Resale sites would face new rules on fake listings, “official” claims, and refunds when events change.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
TICKET Act is a Senate bill waiting for floor action. The latest recorded action: Read twice. Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 163.
Latest action on H.R. 1402: Read twice. Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 163.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people who buy tickets for major live events, ticket sellers, and resale websites. Buyers would see prices and refund rules more clearly. Sellers and resale platforms would have to change ads, listings, checkout pages, refund notices, and some website names or marketing claims. Small venues with capacity of 200 or fewer people would not be covered.
Why this matters: Ticket buyers often see extra fees late in checkout, which can make prices hard to compare. This bill would require the real total price earlier in the process. It could also reduce misleading resale listings and give buyers clearer options when events are canceled or delayed. The bill does not cap fees, so it focuses on clearer pricing rather than lower prices.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
