AI Summary

This bill aims to protect consumers in the issuance of sports and entertainment tickets. It requires that if an operator of a place of entertainment or their agent employs a paperless ticketing system, they must offer consumers the option to purchase the same tickets in another form (i.e., physical tickets) without additional fees. This provision is meant to ensure that consumers have the choice to avoid any potential issues or fees associated with paperless ticketing systems.
