S 134 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Prohibits sale of tickets not in reseller's possession.

This bill prohibits ticket resellers from selling tickets they do not currently possess (known as "tentative" or "speculative" tickets). It requires resellers to guarantee full refunds - including all fees - if events are canceled or tickets are invalid (e.g., counterfeit or canceled by the issuer). The law also bans resellers from selling the same seat to multiple people simultaneously and restricts tools that circumvent ticket purchase limits. These changes directly affect ticket resellers and websites, aiming to protect consumers from fraud and unfair practices during ticket purchases.
