The bill aimed to crack down on bots snatching up seats to resale, bring price transparency to the buying process and overall make it so end-users don't end up duped with bogus tickets

SB23-060

“I am proud of the successes of Colorado’s artists, venues and fans — particularly given all the challenges the industry has faced over the past few years — and therefore the bar for any changes to laws in this area is very high,” Polis wrote in his veto letter. “Consumer advocacy groups have opposed this legislation and asked for a veto, and I take that very seriously.”

“I think the governor had a decision between local venues and ticket scalpers, and I think he went with ticket scalpers,” Rodriguez said.
