On a nightly basis, Coloradans are getting the rug pulled out from under them by ticket scalpers engaging in deceptive ticketing practices.

An elderly couple recently spent over $400 on tickets to see Sierra Ferrell from a third-party website. Upon learning that the show would not have chairs, they tried to get a refund. The scalper refused to issue a refund – a clear violation of the American Disabilities Act – and when the couple tried to resell the tickets themselves, they realized no tickets had ever been sent over.

It’s now up to Gov. Jared Polis to sign SB 60 into law and right the live event experience for Coloradans once and for all. Sadly, these stories are not one-offs – they are nightly occurrences in every venue across Colorado. We watch helplessly night after night as fans young and old have their hearts broken by ticket scalpers. The story goes that the fan purchases the ticket on a deceptive website or fake social media account or buys a ‘speculative’ ticket that the reseller never had to begin with.
