California Can Transform Live Event Ticketing to Work for Fans.
The Solution:
Increase Competition
& Put Fans First
Increase Competition
Today, when tickets first go on sale, 80% of the time there is only one option: Ticketmaster. More competition – like what exists when buying airline tickets or hotel bookings – would result in better service, lower fees and more transparency.
Right to Use or Share Your Ticket
You should have the right to do what you want with the tickets you buy – including giving them away or reselling them at a price you want, on the platform of your choice. Telling fans what they can do with their tickets is anti-consumer and anti-competition.
A Safe and Secure Experience
Fans deserve a safe, convenient, and secure place to buy and sell tickets. You should have a guarantee that your tickets will get you into the event, or your money back.
Equal Access for All, Not Just VIPs
Everyone deserves a fair shot at buying tickets. Automated bots, insider holds, and exclusive credit card presales should not define who gets in and who gets left out.
Upfront, Honest Pricing
Fans deserve clear information about how many tickets are available and how they’re priced. There should be no hidden tickets – too often fans pay high prices during presales only to see prices slashed a few weeks later. And when only 46% of tickets go on sale to the public, fans don’t have a fair shot.
