Ticket Policy Forum sues D.C. to block RESALE Act
Lawsuit filed
On October 14, 2026, the Ticket Policy Forum, an organization representing third-party ticket resellers including SeatGeek, Vivid Seats, and TickPick, filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for D.C. seeking to block enforcement of the RESALE Amendment Act of 2025, which the D.C. Council passed in July 2025 and which is set to take effect on January 1, 2027. The law bars speculative ticket sales and caps resale markups at 10 percent; the forum also requested a preliminary injunction, claiming the law violates the Commerce Clause, the Home Rule Act, the Due Process Clause, and the First Amendment.
Stated objective. Stop the city from enforcing the RESALE Act pending final judgment and have the court declare the Act unconstitutional, unlawful, and invalid and unenforceable in its entirety.
