  • 815 ILCS 414/0.5

    Sec. 0.5. Definitions. As used in this Act: 'Broker' or 'ticket broker' means a person, including a ticket issuer, that resells or makes a secondary sale of a ticket to the general public. 'Reseller' or 'ticket reseller' means a person engaged in the resale of tickets. 'Seller' or 'ticket seller' means a person who has the right to sell a ticket prior to or at the primary sale of the ticket, including the event organizer or a person that provides services to conduct or facilitate the primary sale of tickets by or on behalf of the event organizer. 'Ticket' means a physical, electronic, or other form of a certificate, document, voucher, token, or other evidence indicating that a person has the right to be admitted to an event. 'Ticket resale marketplace' means a person that operates a platform or exchange for the resale of tickets between third parties or between the ticket resale marketplace and a third party. 'Ticket resale marketplace' includes a ticket issuer only to the extent the ticket issuer is acting to facilitate the resale of tickets between third parties or between the ticket issuer, acting as a ticket resale marketplace, and a third party.

    This addition defines key terms used throughout the Act, providing clarity for the ticket selling and reselling process.

  • 815 ILCS 414/1.5

    It is unlawful for any person, persons, firm or corporation to sell tickets for baseball games, football games, hockey games, theatre entertainments, or any other amusement for a price more than the price printed upon the face of said ticket, and the price of said ticket shall correspond with the same price shown at the box office or the office of original distribution. → A ticket seller or ticket reseller shall display the full price of a ticket, including all assessed fees, to a consumer when the price of a ticket is first shown to the consumer and shall not increase that price during the transaction with the consumer.

    This change mandates that ticket sellers or resellers must present the total ticket price upfront and prohibits price increases during the transaction.

  • 815 ILCS 414/1.5

    A ticket reseller shall not sell or offer to sell a ticket that the ticket reseller does not possess or have a contract to purchase.

    This new requirement prevents ticket resellers from selling tickets they do not own or are not under contract to sell, increasing consumer trust.

  • 815 ILCS 414/1.5

    A ticket resale marketplace shall not include the name of an artist, team, or ticket issuer in a URL of a website operated by the ticket resale marketplace unless authorized.

    This provision restricts the use of certain names in URLs for resale marketplaces unless permission is granted, enhancing intellectual property protections.

  • 815 ILCS 414/1.5

    A ticket issuer shall deliver a ticket purchased directly from the ticket issuer within 4 days after purchase unless otherwise clearly and conspicuously disclosed at the time of sale.

    This establishes a requirement for timely ticket delivery from issuers, improving customer satisfaction.

  • 815 ILCS 414/1.5

    A ticket issuer shall disclose the number of tickets for an event that are withheld from sale any time it offers tickets for that event for sale.

    This ensures transparency regarding ticket availability and helps manage consumer expectations.
