Massachusetts S215 aims to ensure fair distribution and pricing of event tickets by prohibiting pre-sales to resellers and restricting technology use.
Massachusetts S215 seeks to amend the General Laws to ensure fair distribution and pricing of event tickets. It defines "ticket issuer" as the entity that initially sells tickets to the public and "ticket reseller" as any transfer of tickets between individuals. The bill prohibits ticket issuers from pre-selling tickets to resellers for secondary market sales and restricts resellers from using software or technology to limit public access to tickets within 24 hours of their release. This aims to prevent price gouging and ensure tickets are available to the general public.
