AN ACT To amend Article 3 of Chapter 4B of Title 43 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to ticket brokers, so as to remove an exception permitting certain resale restrictions; to provide that resale restrictions are void and against public policy; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill amends Georgia's law on ticket brokers to remove an exception that allowed event organizers and venue owners to place restrictions on reselling tickets. The bill states that such resale restrictions are void and against public policy, with some limited exceptions. The original ticket seller can still maintain policies on behavior and event access, set limits on ticket purchases, and restrict transferability of discounted tickets sold to certain groups. However, the bill prohibits the use of technology or other means to restrict the resale of tickets in general.
