HOTDOG Act

This bill would require the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to study food and drink prices at a nationwide sample of stadiums and arenas that host ticketed sports games, concerts, or similar events and that were built or run with public subsidies. The study would compare venue prices with prices at nearby bars and restaurants. It would also look at dynamic pricing, service fees, value deals, whether prices are shown before purchase, and options such as price caps or reduced-price menu items. The FTC would have to report its results and recommendations to Congress within one year.
