What was once a small offline industry of ticket resellers, or “scalpers,” as they commonly are known, now has grown into a multibillion-dollar online industry. Growth in the ticket resale industry and public outcry against ticket scalping has attracted the attention of US regulators at the federal, state and local levels. This Secondary Ticket Marketplace, Guide To US Ticket Resale Regulations (this Guide) summarizes the various US State and local legal requirements with respect to the resale of tickets.
This Guide is authored by Laura D. Nemeth, a Corporate Partner with more than ten years of experience advising clients in the ticketing industry.
