S 411 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Prohibits circumventing security measures for certain online ticket sales.

This bill (S 411) prohibits using software, devices, or technology to bypass security systems on online ticket websites. It directly affects online ticket issuers (like sports teams, theaters, or event promoters) and anyone attempting to circumvent these security measures, such as scalpers using bots. The key provision bans tools designed to disrupt equitable ticket purchasing, ensuring customers can access tickets through standard online processes. This aims to prevent unfair advantages in ticket sales while maintaining the existing legal penalty of up to 18 months in jail or a $10,000 fine for violations.
