Bill > A4347

This bill revises New Jersey law concerning ticket sales by expanding the definitions of terms like "place of entertainment" and "resale," and introducing new terms such as "reseller," "advertisement," and "initial sale" to clarify the regulations surrounding ticket transactions. It mandates that the full price, including all taxes, service charges, and fees, must be printed or endorsed on tickets and included in advertising for events, with specific requirements for disclosing the number of tickets available for public sale and when they will be offered. The bill also introduces guarantees for purchasers of resold tickets, requiring full refunds if an event is canceled, the ticket doesn't grant admission, or if the ticket doesn't match its advertised description. Furthermore, it prohibits ticket issuers from restricting ticket resales or imposing penalties on purchasers who resell tickets, and it makes it illegal to use technology to bypass sales limits or disguise purchaser identity to buy more tickets than allowed. Violations of these provisions will be considered unlawful practices and may result in criminal penalties.
