Singer-songwriter Noah Kahan backs “The Great Divide Act,” a Massachusetts measure aimed at limiting speculative ticket sales. Multiple outlets report that Kahan is supporting the proposal after similar legislation in his home state of Vermont. The bill is designed to restrict how much tickets can be resold for on secondary markets, including by limiting resale prices and associated add-on charges. It also includes measures that cap certain fees charged by ticket resale or secondary platforms.
Kahan’s endorsement frames the effort as a way to protect fans from inflated costs and excessive fees that can arise when tickets are resold after public sale. The legislation, as described in coverage, targets practices such as speculative pricing and high resale fees, seeking to reduce the gap between original ticket prices and what buyers pay on secondary sites.
The articles collectively describe Kahan as publicly endorsing the Massachusetts bill and connecting the proposal to Vermont’s prior actions on ticket resale regulation.
