Minnesota Enacts 'Taylor Swift Bill' to Enhance Ticket Purchase Transparency

The new law mandates upfront disclosure of all fees and restricts resale practices, aiming to protect consumers from inflated prices and deceptive sales tactics.

Governor Tim Walz signed the bill into law at a ceremony in Minneapolis, citing the need for fairness and transparency in ticket sales.
The legislation was inspired by public frustration during high-demand ticket sales, notably for a Taylor Swift concert.
Resellers are now prohibited from selling multiple copies of a single ticket, and all fees must be disclosed at the point of sale.
The law applies to tickets for concerts and other live events sold in Minnesota, regardless of the buyer's location.
Set to take effect on January 1, 2025, the law also targets deceptive websites and speculative ticket sales.
