HB 4263 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Consumer protection: other; certain uses of automated programs to purchase event tickets online; prohibit. Creates new act. TIE BAR WITH: HB 4262'25

HB 4263 prohibits sellers from using automated programs to bypass purchase limits during online ticket sales for concerts, sports events, and other public entertainment events requiring admission fees. It bans circumventing security systems that enforce ticket limits, electronic queues, or fraud checks, targeting practices like bot-driven bulk purchases. The law directly affects ticket sellers (who must implement these security measures) and buyers attempting to use automated tools to bypass restrictions. This creates new requirements for online ticket sales to ensure fair access to event tickets.
