The proposed bill, titled the "event online ticket sales act," aims to regulate the online sale of tickets for entertainment events in Michigan. It defines "entertainment event" as any public activity that charges an admission fee and is held in a venue, whether public or private. The bill outlines key definitions, including "person" and "ticket," and establishes a "ticket purchasing limit" that indicates how many tickets an individual can buy during an online sale.
Additionally, the bill prohibits individuals from circumventing or disabling security measures and technological controls that enforce ticket purchasing limits, manage electronic queues, or validate ticket authenticity. This legislation is contingent upon the enactment of Senate Bill No. 159 of the 103rd Legislature, ensuring that the regulations take effect only if that bill is also passed.
