Bill overview
This bill prohibits the sale or offering for sale of admission tickets obtained through software designed to bypass security measures or limit ticket purchases for entertainment events. Resellers must have a ticket in hand before reselling, and they must disclose details about the ticket’s delivery and seating options. The bill also protects consumers from penalties by operators if they purchased tickets from an unaffiliated reseller. Violations are considered unlawful practices under Oregon law.
Key provisions
- Prohibits using software to circumvent ticket security measures.
- Requires resellers to have actual or constructive possession of a ticket before reselling.
- Mandates disclosures to buyers regarding ticket delivery and seating options.
- Protects consumers from penalties by operators for purchasing from unaffiliated resellers.
- Defines key terms related to ticket sales and events (e.g., ‘operator,’ ‘reseller,’ ‘venue,’ ‘entertainment event’).
- Establishes a process for ticket sellers to notify the Attorney General of suspected software misuse.
- Requires refunds to purchasers if a ticket seller fails to obtain a ticket after a sale.
