AI Summary

This bill aims to promote fair distribution and pricing of event tickets. It prohibits ticket issuers from pre-selling tickets to ticket resellers for the purpose of reselling on the secondary market. It also bans the use of software or technology that restricts the sale of tickets to the general public within 24 hours of when they go on sale. The bill defines key terms like "event ticket," "software," "ticket issuer," and "ticket reseller" to provide clarity and ensure fair practices in the ticket sales process.
