Ticket to Paradise? The D.C. Council Unanimously Passes Law To Protect Consumers

The D.C. Council passed the RESALE Act to restrict ticket scalping and protect consumers by capping resold ticket prices at a 10% markup, requiring reseller registration, and imposing fines for violations. The law, introduced by Councilmember Charles Allen, faced adjustments during the legislative process but was ultimately enacted with strong support from local venues, artists, and advocacy groups.
