Ticket buyers would see the full required price before checkout begins. Sellers would still list the base ticket price and each required fee, but they could not hide required fees until the end.
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 in committee. The latest recorded action: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
Latest action on S. 430: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people who buy tickets, ticket sellers, resale platforms, brokers, and venues for larger live events. Buyers would see required fees earlier. Sellers and platforms would need to update ads, listings, price pages, and checkout screens so the full required price is clear from the start.
Why this matters: Ticket buyers often see extra required fees late in checkout, which makes the real price hard to know at the start. This bill would make sellers show the full required price earlier, so buyers can compare tickets more easily. It could also push sellers to compete on the real total price instead of a lower advertised price. The bill would not cap fees, so tickets could still be expensive even with clearer pricing.
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.
