Prohibits circumventing security measures for certain online ticket sales.

New Jersey's S 288 prohibits using software, devices, or technology to bypass security systems on online ticket websites. It targets individuals or businesses that employ bots or other tools to circumvent measures designed to ensure fair ticket sales for events like concerts or sports games. The bill directly affects those who use such technology to secure tickets before regular customers, including ticket resellers and "ticket brokers" who charge excessive fees. Violations are punishable as a fourth-degree crime, carrying penalties of up to 18 months in prison or a $10,000 fine. The law applies to any online ticket issuer, such as venues, sports teams, or event promoters selling tickets directly online.
