Reps. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill., and Gus Bilirakis, R-Fla., are cosponsoring the bill.
"Fans are incredibly frustrated by how hard it has become to buy event tickets. With every ticketing debacle, from Beyoncé to Taylor Swift, and so many more, their frustration grows," Schakowsky said in a statement. "Consumers deserve to be protected from fraudulent tickets, surprise costs, and excessive fees."
