Md. lawmakers pass bill to address deceptive concert, sports ticket prices — here’s how it will help

If you’ve bought a ticket to a concert or a sporting event lately, you know how much the prices have spiked in the last few years. Costs can be in the thousands for big-name performers or hugely popular teams.

Now, there’s been a move in Maryland to try to make that process of buying tickets more transparent. State lawmakers in Annapolis passed legislation to make it clear how tickets on resale sites, such as SeatGeek and StubHub, are actually sold, and what the seller of the company has to disclose about the tickets.
