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 an "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," "ticket," and "ticket purchasing limit," which establishes the maximum number of 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 seeks to ensure fair access to tickets and protect consumers from fraudulent practices in the online ticket marketplace. The act will only take effect if certain related bills are also enacted into law.
