Legislation passed last year in Tennessee is helping make event ticket pricing more transparent, although some online sellers are not following the spirit of the law, Tennessee Lookout reports. The ticketing transparency bill — sponsored by Sen. Heidi Campbell, D-Nashville, and Rep. Caleb Hemmer, D-Nashville — was passed in response to growing frustration over the increase in hidden ticket fees on concerts and sporting events. Tennessee Lookout’s review of online sites found Ticketmaster is following the law, while others are still marketing seats at lower prices that get more expensive as the buyer moves toward purchase.
