A second and final vote is scheduled for July 14.<\/p>\n<p>The legislation would ban speculative ticket sales, in which sellers offer tickets they do not yet hold. It would also prohibit the use of software that bypasses security measures to purchase tickets in bulk. Additionally, any seller who resells 50 or more tickets per year would be required to register annually with the <strong>Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>A coalition of local venues has voiced support for the measure, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.930.com\">9:30 Club<\/a><\/li>\n<li>The Anthem<\/li>\n<li>Lincoln Theatre<\/li>\n<li>GALA Hispanic Theatre<\/li>\n<li>DC Improv<\/li>\n<li>Shakespeare Theatre Company<\/li>\n<li>Studio Theatre<\/li>\n<li>DC Jewish Community Center<\/li>\n<li>Washington Improv Theatre<\/li>\n<li>The Hamilton<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.impconcerts.com\">I.M.P.<\/a><\/li>\n<li>The Atlantis<\/li>\n<li>All Good Presents<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Today, the DC Council stood with DC&#8217;s most beloved and iconic music venues, with our storied theaters, and with every music and live theater fan who&#8217;s tired of getting ripped off and priced out,&#8221; Councilmember Allen said. &#8220;Ticket resellers have used technology and unrestrained profits to turn our live entertainment scene into the wild west, and people are sick of it. DC&#8217;s going to be a leader in this space, but I expect many other jurisdictions to step in once they see we don&#8217;t have to put up with these digital scalpers making everything worse and more expensive while siphoning millions of dollars out of the local economy.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The District of Columbia Council advanced legislation that would cap ticket resale prices at 10% above face value and prohibit the use of automated bots to purchase tickets.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6955,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_display_header_overlay":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[518],"tags":[1995,1492,1993,924,1994,1339],"class_list":["post-6954","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-policy-legal","tag-charles-allen","tag-consumer-protection","tag-dc-council","tag-live-events","tag-resale-act","tag-ticket-resale","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>DC Council Advances 10% Ticket Resale Cap Bill<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The DC Council gave initial approval to the RESALE Act, capping ticket resale markups at 10%, banning bots, and requiring registration for high-volume sellers.
