06.20.18 - Online ticket purchases could become simpler
"The state's 'convoluted' laws regulating ticket purchases for live events could receive a consumer-friendly update from the state Legislature."
"There is a bipartisan agreement between the legislative sponsors in the state's Assembly and Senate to make the process of purchasing tickets for sporting events, concerts and the theater more transparent and easier to navigate. The hope is that consumers will have an easier time obtaining tickets from the venue or make more informed choices in the secondary market."
"The final compromises followed a round-table discussion and months of conversations with venue owners, sports teams, ticket brokers and other interested parties. 'We have literally spent the last year meeting with all the principles,' Murphy said."
