AI Summary

This bill aims to modernize the issuance and sale of sports and entertainment tickets. It defines a "ticket reseller" as any person or entity engaged in the business of reselling tickets, and establishes consumer protection standards for ticket resellers, including requirements for maintaining a customer service contact, implementing a refund policy, and safeguarding against counterfeit tickets. The bill also allows ticket issuers to employ non-transferable ticketing systems, but requires them to offer the option to purchase transferable tickets without penalty or discrimination. Additionally, the bill exempts certain discounted or promotional tickets from the transferability requirement.
