		<ns0:DigestText>
			<html:p>Existing law generally regulates persons who sell admission tickets to sporting, musical, theatre, or any other entertainment events, requiring them, among other things, to maintain records of ticket sales, deposits, and refunds. Existing law requires a ticket sellers that includes tickets to an event in conjunction with the sale of a tour or event package to disclose in any advertisement or promotional materials the price charged or allotted for the ticket. Existing law makes a violation of those provisions regulating ticket sellers a crime.</html:p>
			<html:p>This bill would require a ticket seller or a person who resells a ticket to a sporting, musical, theatre, or any
			 other entertainment event located at a venue with a capacity of more than 1,000 persons to also, at the time that a ticket is purchased, give the consumer the option to purchase an all-day ticket from a transit provider that offers service to the venue during the time of the event, as specified. The bill would also require the Department of Transportation to prepare a study of additional transit sales generated pursuant to these provisions and report its findings to the Legislature on or before December 31, 2032. The bill would provide that a violation of the bill’s provisions do not constitute a crime.</html:p>
