Existing law provides comprehensive regulation of ticket sellers, including the requirement that a ticket seller issue a refund upon request to a ticket purchaser for canceled, postponed, or rescheduled events. Violation of this provision is a misdemeanor. This bill would, for canceled events, require that the refund be made within 30 calendar days of the cancellation. For postponed or rescheduled events, or events that are replaced with another event at the same date and time, this bill would require that the refund be made upon request within 30 calendar days of the refund request. By expanding the scope of an existing crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
