What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
