The bill, S.B. No. 1622, amends the Business & Commerce Code to enhance regulations surrounding the online sale of concert and event tickets. It introduces new definitions, including "venue" and "ancillary fee," while also prohibiting the use or creation of bots for purchasing tickets in excess of posted limits or circumventing sales systems. The bill establishes penalties for violations, allowing the Attorney General to investigate and enforce compliance, with civil penalties reaching up to $10,000 per violation.

Additionally, the bill mandates that ticket sellers disclose all ancillary fees clearly and conspicuously before a purchase is made, ensuring transparency in ticket pricing. It prohibits misleading fee disclosures and requires that the total cost of a ticket, including all fees, be presented prominently. The legislation aims to protect consumers from unfair practices in the ticketing industry and will take effect on September 1, 2025.
