MAIN Event Ticketing Act
Introduced Jan 22, 2025 by Sen. Marsha Blackburn
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill expands measures to protect the security and integrity of online ticket sales.
Specifically, the bill prohibits the use of applications that perform automated tasks to purchase event tickets from online ticket sellers in circumvention of the seller's posted ticket purchasing order rules. This includes using software applications that circumvent access control systems or security measures.
In addition, online ticket sellers must establish, implement, and maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the security, confidentiality, integrity, or availability of the seller's website or service.
Further, online ticket sellers must report known incidents of circumvention to the Federal Trade Commission and take reasonable steps to address any such incidents.
