RALEIGH, N.C. β A new bill would prohibit ticket companies from limiting where North Carolina buyers could resell tickets for concerts and sporting events.
But House Bill 598 faces opposition from the Carolina Panthers, arts advocates and others, who say the measure would cause some artists or acts to skip the state and would harm small venues.
The bill passed the House commerce and economic development committee Tuesday. Bills must pass one full chamber before Thursdayβs crossover deadline to have a chance of becoming law this year.
Both sides argued that if they lost, customers could pay higher prices for tickets.
