AI Summary

This bill amends current law to prohibit the sale of tickets that the reseller does not possess at the time of sale, a practice known as "speculative ticketing." Specifically, the bill removes provisions that previously allowed resellers to sell tickets not in their possession, as long as they disclosed an approximate delivery date and guaranteed a refund if the tickets could not be secured. The bill also prohibits resellers from selling the same seat to multiple people simultaneously and from using technology to circumvent ticket purchase limits set by the event organizers.
