DC Council approves ticket resale bill aimed at curbing price gouging
The D.C. Council approved the RESALE Act to cap ticket resales at 10% above face value, require upfront pricing, and license large-scale resellers to combat price gouging. An amendment removed provisions that would have allowed the mayor to regulate fees on primary ticket sellers, addressing concerns about D.C.'s competitiveness in attracting performers.
