AI Summary

This bill establishes the Oklahoma Fraud and Ticketing Accountability Act, which introduces comprehensive regulations for ticket sales in Oklahoma. The legislation defines numerous terms related to ticket sales and prohibits the use of bots (automated software) to purchase tickets, circumvent security measures, or exceed ticket purchase limits. It requires ticket sellers, both primary and secondary, to clearly disclose the total price, itemize fees, and provide specific ticket details at the point of sale. The bill limits ticket resale prices to no more than 110% of the original ticket price, except for certain charitable events, and mandates full refunds for canceled events, counterfeit tickets, or tickets that do not match their description. The act also prohibits unauthorized use of artist or venue names and logos, prevents misleading marketing practices, and considers violations as unfair trade practices under the Oklahoma Consumer Protection Act. Additionally, the bill allows aggrieved persons to bring civil actions for damages and provides venues and event organizers more control over ticket transferability and sales. These regulations aim to protect consumers from fraudulent ticketing practices and increase transparency in ticket sales, with the law set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
