Relating to certain disclosures and other requirements relating to the online sale of concert and other event tickets.
SB 1622 prohibits the use or creation of bots to buy excessive tickets for concerts and other public events online. It bans automated software (bots) from purchasing tickets beyond posted limits or using multiple accounts, IP addresses, or email addresses to bypass these limits. The bill directly affects online ticket sellers, venues (like stadiums and theaters), and consumers who might face inflated prices due to bot-driven scalping. It applies to any event requiring an admission fee, including concerts, sports games, and theatrical performances, and amends Texas Business & Commerce Code to enforce these requirements.
