Title
Ticket sales, use of non-transferable ticketing system auth. under limited circumstances, discrimination against holders of resold tickets prohibited, exceptions
Description

Under existing law, an admission ticket that was originally issued, sold, or authorized by an organizer of certain events may be transferred or resold.

This bill would: (1) allow a ticket issuer to employ a nontransferable ticketing system only if the consumer is offered an option at the time of original sale to purchase the same ticket in a transferable form; and (2) provide that a ticket buyer or seller may not be penalized or discriminated against or denied access to an event solely on the grounds that the ticket or tickets were resold.

This bill would also specify specific circumstances in which a ticket issuer or venue operator may elect not to offer tickets in a transferable form.
