In July, the D.C. Council voted unanimously to pass the RESALE Act — Restricting Egregious Scalping Against Live Entertainment. It caps resale markups at 10% over face value, bans speculative ticket sales outright, and requires a license to list more than 50 tickets a year.

It clears congressional review and takes effect January 2027. Vermont already passed a looser version. Other statehouses are drafting now.

So: what actually changes for you? What's enforceable versus aspirational? And what should you be doing if your market is next?

‍

What we'll dig into:

- Who enforces a 10% cap when the listing sits on a platform in another state

- What a speculative ticketing ban does to your fan-complaint volume

- Why the law covers concerts but not sporting events, and what that signals about the next bill

- What to build now — on data, presales, and owning the fan relationship — if your market follows
