The bill prohibits resellers from employing tentative ticket policies, whereby the reseller sells tickets that are not in the reseller's possession at the time of sale.

AI Summary

This bill amends current law to prohibit the practice of "speculative ticketing," where ticket resellers sell tickets they do not actually possess at the time of sale. Specifically, the bill removes provisions that previously allowed for the sale of tickets not in the reseller's possession, requiring resellers to only sell tickets they currently have in their possession. The bill also requires resellers to provide full refunds to purchasers if an event is cancelled or the ticket does not grant admission for reasons beyond the purchaser's control. Additionally, the bill prohibits the use of software or technology to circumvent ticket purchasing limits set by ticket issuers.
