Prohibits circumventing security measures for certain online ticket sales.
This bill (A 3657) prohibits using software, devices, or technology to bypass security measures on online ticket websites that ensure fair ticket purchasing. It directly affects online ticket sellers (like venues, sports teams, or theaters) and anyone using tools to circumvent their security systems. The key provision bans both creating or providing such tools and employing them to gain unfair access to tickets. Violations are punishable as a fourth-degree crime, carrying potential penalties of up to 18 months in jail or a $10,000 fine.
