(Harrisburg, PA) According to a release from State Representative Rob Matzie’s office, a strong bipartisan majority of the Pennsylvania House passed Matzie’s bill to ban speculative ticketing yesterday. House Bill 463 has a statement that aims to get rid of a practice that resellers of tickets list tickets for events for sale before they have those tickets with them. Matzie believes speculative ticketing does not help small businesses and venues because of lost revenue and public credibility.
