Sen. Scott Sandall is running a bill to force secondary ticketing companies to tell consumers whether or not the tickets they're offering have actually been purchased. Many times, tickets are sold by those companies before they actually go on sale.
Young, the executive director of Utah Culture Alliance, said at a news conference Tuesday that art is "in the business of living, and we are core to Utah DNA."
"We don't have a problem with the fact that the secondary ticketing market exists," Young told the Deseret News. "The problem is when some of the bad actors in that marketplace come in, buy up inventory, and usually do it with fake identities." The bill also requires secondary ticketing companies to follow certain guidelines, like requiring refunds if an event is canceled and helping with consumer protection.
"Our biggest need always is investment," Young said. The priority for this legislative session, she said, is ticketing issues.
