Anti-Ticket Scalping Act

An Act Prohibiting the Selling And/Or Buying of Admission Tickets Through Unauthorized Sales Channels, Providing Penalties Therefor and for Other Purposes

In plain language

The Anti‑Ticket Scalping Act would ban selling tickets for more than 10 % above the original price and outlaw the use of bots to buy tickets in bulk. It requires tickets to be sold only through authorized platforms, forces sellers to show the face‑value price, and sets fines and possible jail time for violators.
