Brazil’s government issued new regulations for ticket sales, resales and access to cultural events, requiring consumers to receive complete pricing and channel information before buying online. The rules prohibit automatic fees without a corresponding service and require platforms to prevent bots or other automated systems from making abusive or speculative bulk purchases. Ticket resale platforms must disclose the original price, markup and whether the seller is an individual or a legal entity. President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva signed the regulatory decrees during a ceremony, as consumer criticism worldwide has focused on high ticket fees and alleged unfair resale practices.
