Unleash Your Inner Swiftie with Tickets to the Minnesota Concert Inspired by Taylor Swift’s Tour
Exciting news for Taylor Swift fans in Minnesota! The state recently implemented a new law, H.F. 1989, to tackle unfair ticket practices. This law, named after Swift’s birth year, was inspired by Democratic Rep. Kelly Moller’s own struggles to purchase tickets to Taylor Swift’s concert in 2023 at U.S. Bank in Minneapolis. Moller authored the bill, which was later signed into action by Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
Under this new law, ticket sellers such as Live Nation, Ticketmaster, and AEG are now required to follow additional guidelines to prevent price gouging and the sale of counterfeit tickets. Sellers must now disclose the total cost of the tickets, including all fees, taxes, and extra charges. They are also prohibited from selling more than one “copy” of a ticket. Violation of this law could result in legal consequences under Minnesota state law.
In a press release, Governor Walz emphasized the importance of protecting consumers from hidden fees and exploitative sellers. He highlighted the significance of this law in providing Minnesotans with the opportunity to purchase event tickets without breaking the bank.
It’s important to note that this law applies specifically to tickets purchased in Minnesota for events held within the state. On a federal level, U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar is championing the Fans First Act, a legislative initiative aimed at increasing transparency in the ticket purchasing process.
With these new regulations in place, Minnesota residents can look forward to a fairer and more transparent ticket buying experience. Let’s support efforts that prioritize fans and ensure access to events without unnecessary financial burdens.
