S 519 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits sale of tickets not in reseller's possession.

This New Jersey bill (S 519) prohibits ticket resellers from selling tickets they do not currently possess, ending "tentative ticket" sales where resellers promise tickets they haven't secured. It requires resellers to provide full refunds - including all fees - if events are canceled or tickets fail to grant admission (e.g., counterfeit or canceled events). The bill also bans resellers from selling the same seat to multiple people and restricts the use of bots or fake identities to buy excessive tickets. These changes directly affect ticket resellers and consumers, aiming to prevent fraud and ensure fair access to events.
