California ticket resale price cap dies after StubHub's record $3.4m lobbying spend

California's Senate Appropriations Committee killed AB 1720, which would have capped concert ticket resale prices at 10% above face value, on August 13, 2026. StubHub spent $3.4 million on California lobbying in 2026 while opposing the bill — its highest-ever state lobbying total, per Music Business Worldwide. The bill cannot carry over to the next session.
