What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, a city, village, town, or county (political subdivision) may not enact an ordinance or adopt a resolution that prohibits the resale of any ticket to an entertainment event or a sporting event if the resale price is equal to or less than the ticket's face value. Also under current law, the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System (university) may not promulgate a rule or adopt a resolution prohibiting the resale of any ticket for an amount that is equal to or less than the ticket's face value.
This bill authorizes the university or a local governmental unit (a political subdivision, a professional baseball or football district, or the Bradley Center) to create a resale zone, which is defined as the only part of such an entity's property in which a ticket may be resold.

Under the bill, if a person is observed violating a political subdivision's resale zone ordinance, or the university's or another local governmental unit's resale zone requirements, the person may be cited for the violation and removed from the premises and, if convicted, is subject to a forfeiture not to exceed the penalty for a Class C forfeiture, which is a civil penalty with a maximum forfeiture of $500. If a person violates a resale zone ordinance or requirement a second time, the person may be permanently prohibited from entering either, or both, of the premises where the violations occurred.
