Colorado bill targets deceptive ticket sales tactics

On the 20th of march 2024, the Ticket Buyer Bill of Rights Coalition endorsed a bipartisan legislation in Colorado aiming to improve consumer protection and transparency in ticketing by fighting dark patterns. The bill prohibits hidden fees, ticket price increases after selection, and the use of deceptive websites, while ensuring refunds for cancelled events. It also promotes competition and fair regulation in both primary and secondary ticket markets. The bill is set to be heard in the Assembly’s Business Affairs and Labor Committee on April 11, 2024.
