Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under this bill, a political subdivision (city, village, town, or county) may not
enact an ordinance or adopt a resolution that prohibits the resale of tickets to an
entertainment or sporting event if the resale price is equal to or less than the ticket's
face value. If a political subdivision has in effect an ordinance or resolution that is
inconstant with this bill, such an ordinance or resolution does not apply and may not
be enforced.
