Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell signed a bill on 7/16/2007 that has removed price restrictions for the sale of event tickets online. The previous law capped the resale price of tickets to 25% over the face value. The law applied to resellers in the state.
The new law completely removes the cap and requires that the reseller guarantee a full refund if the event is cancelled or the ticket is not valid upon entry. The law also states
“A reseller that uses [an] Internet website shall not be required to obtain a license to resell through the Internet website if the operator of the Internet website: Has a business presence and physical street address in this Commonwealth and clearly and conspicuously posts that address on the Internet website, or has a business presence in this Commonwealth and one of the following: a registered agent, a foreign business license or a certificate of authority issued by the Department of State.”
The means that StubHub, eBay, Ticketmaster and every other resellers need to rent office space in Pennsylvania. Something most already do.
The house bill, which was passed on 3/28/2007, was unanimously approved. The governor was quoted as saying “Pennsylvania must make a change that a number of other states have already made”.
Pennsylvania becomes another in a line of states to repeal or ease ticket resale laws over the last few years.

NFL Time
NFL ticket sales have started. Some teams have already gone on sale. Many are going on right now or about to. The Texans, Bears, Cardinals, Browns and Dolphins go on sale this week. Pick the teams you want to target and see if you can get some good seats. Remember these few pointers:
Avoid packages that include preseason games. These cost just as much but do not have the demand. Where we live, there are always people handing out the preseason game tickets.
Avoid club seats – Club seats are great to see a game. More elbow room. Better food. Wait staff. But you pay for all this. For the person wanting to go to the big game - Field level sells the best and commands the highest prices.
Treat them like concert tickets – go into a sale knowing what the good sections are and only buy what if offered for those sections. If you are only offered upper level seats, walk away and try another team. Do not buy tickets just because you want to. Good seats sell. Bad ones don’t.
