Arizona bill proposes quick turnaround for ticket purchases

By and 02/06/2025 | updated 7 months ago

(The Center Square)— More legislation is seeking to crack down on ticket sale woes in Arizona.

House Bill 2748 would make it state law for tickets to be received right after somebody places an order.

“An operator shall deliver an electronic ticket to the purchaser on receipt of an order confirmation,” the bill states. 

The bill’s sponsor, state Rep. Jeff Weninger, R-Chandler, said the Fair Ticketing Act will make sure customers are treated better if it’s passed into law. 

(function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:11095963150525286,size:[0, 0],id:”ld-2426-4417″});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src=”//cdn2.lockerdomecdn.com/_js/ajs.js”;j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,”script”,”ld-ajs”);

“Right now, the ticketing process is unnecessarily stressful, overly complicated and often expensive. Families may spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on tickets, flights and accommodations, only to have to wait to receive their actual tickets as little as 24 hours before an event. This isn’t just inconvenient – it’s unacceptable,” Weninger, chairman of the House Commerce Committee, said in a statement.

“From the moment of purchase, consumers deserve absolute certainty about delivery timeframes. This bill is a step forward in rebuilding consumer trust, holding primary ticketing companies accountable and putting fan experience first,” he added. 

The proposal is not the first in Arizona to regulate ticket sale practices. House Bill 2194 passed with bipartisan support last year and got Gov. Katie Hobbs’ signature. The legislation banned “speculative” ticket sales, The Center Square reported.
