Special Event Tours
The Department seeks comment on a proposal to expand its rules on Super Bowl tours to cover air tours to other types of special events. These Super Bowl rules require that operators of Super Bowl tours that are promoted as including game tickets must have those game tickets in hand or under contract before they advertise or sell the tours, and that they must refund the entire tour price to any customer who does not receive a promised game ticket. This proposed rule would also extend the charter rule's prohibition on last-minute price increases to non-charter tours to special events. This initiative arises as a result of problems on certain tours to the 1994 Rose Bowl on which participants did not receive game tickets that were promoted as being included in the package, or were required to make additional payments in order to receive tickets.
