HOLDBACKS Act Halting Organizers and Live-Event Distributors...
To require transparency of ticket sales, prohibit withholding information on the number of tickets available to inflate prices, and for other purposes.
This bill, HB9762, aims to make ticket sales more transparent and prevent companies from hiding the number of tickets available, which can lead to artificially inflated prices. It would affect ticket buyers and sellers, ensuring that consumers have clear information about the availability of tickets, which can help them make more informed decisions and potentially save money.
The bill was introduced on July 16, 2026, by Representative Nellie Pou, a Democrat. It is currently in its initial phase, having been referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. This committee will review the bill, possibly hold hearings, and decide whether to advance it to a vote in the full House.
Recent actions include the bill being introduced in the House and referred to the appropriate committee. Key next steps will involve committee discussions and potential amendments before any vote in the House. The bill's goal is to promote fairness and transparency in the ticket sales market.
