- chipper1001: Argues Ticketmaster is backing the bill to edge out third-party resellers and control the resale market with their own platform.
- RecklessCreature: Points out the conflict of interest when primary sellers own resale channels — setting face value and resale price means double-dipping on the same ticket.
- TheLizardKing89: Warns a 10% cap could drive a black market for tickets.
- boredinbabylon: Says the cap largely benefits resale platforms rather than buyers; many want resale to be limited to cost or for tickets to be refundable.
- thehighcardinal: Calls the bill insufficient — it doesn’t address the core problem of market consolidation or Ticketmaster’s ability to charge hefty fees that can be applied again on resale.
- Platform consolidation: If primary sellers also control resales, a 10% cap may just shift where the money goes rather than lower prices for buyers.
- Fees and double-charging: High service fees baked into face value can negate the impact of a resale cap.
- Unintended consequences: Limits on resale could push transactions off the books, creating risky black-market sales.
