"New Jersey Ticket Consumer Choice Act."
This bill requires ticket issuers (like venues, promoters, or sports teams) to offer purchasers a transferable ticket option at the time of initial sale if they use a non-transferable system, allowing tickets to be resold or given away without penalty. Exceptions apply for targeted promotions (e.g., discounted group tickets based on specific affiliations), which may remain non-transferable if clearly marked and not offered publicly. It prohibits penalizing or discriminating against ticket holders solely for reselling tickets or using specific resale platforms. The bill exempts venues in certain cities with hotel occupancy fees and retail sales taxes, and aligns with similar New York State rules already in effect.
