In November, the tour The Eras Tour by Taylor Swift will arrive in Brazil, and the sale of tickets for the shows may lead to the creation of a new law. From the first day of sale, the singer's fans complained about the illegal sale of scalpers, who buy tickets to sell at a higher price.
On the day of the in-person sale, which occurred for those who would buy tickets by debit, the fans who were in the first positions were unable to guarantee the purchase. With that, they began to complain about a possible criminal action. In the virtual queue, it was no different, as many fans were unable to secure a sale for the first show.

This situation has generated discussions about the need for specific legislation to combat the practice of foreign exchange and protect consumers. Reselling tickets at exorbitant prices harms fans and creates an uneven experience when accessing events.
Last Monday, the 19th, a new phase of ticket sales for the tour The Eras Tour by Taylor Swift began, accompanied by an enforcement operation.
During that operation, 32 people were arrested suspected of acquiring a large number of tickets with the intention of reselling them at exorbitant prices.
Taylor Swift could become law in Brazil
Federal deputies Simone Marquetto (MDB-SP) and Pedro Aihara (Patriotas-MG) presented bills (PL) related to illegal sale of tickets in the country, following recent events involving the abusive resale of tickets for Taylor's tour Swift. This information was found by the Metrópoles news portal.
For Congresswoman Simone (MDB-SP), the bill proposes the configuration of the practice of reselling tickets above the value stipulated by the event organizers as a “crime against the economy popular".
For the author of the project, criminals who practice this feat may be detained from 1 to 4 years, in addition to the fine applied, which will be equivalent to one hundred times the value of the tickets transferred illegally.
Deputy Pedro Aihara, from Patriotas-MG, presented the second bill related to the illegal resale of tickets. In addition to addressing the practice of selling with prices above the original value, the project also proposes typification as “digital exchange”.
For the Federal Deputy of Minas Gerais, the proposal would be subject to fines of the same value as the resold ticket, only differentiating the penalties. In the case of traditional exchange, the detention would be from 6 months to 2 years; in digital exchange, the proposed penalty would be from 1 to 3 years.
