The Speculative Ticket Bill
Tennessee bans speculative ticket resale by third‑party sellers
AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 47, relative to speculative tickets.
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, the bill would stop third‑party sellers from offering speculative tickets and would let the attorney general’s consumer office fine violators $5,000 each.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Consumers would be protected from ticket scams, while small resellers lose a way to make money; the state would collect fines to enforce the rule.
