HB 2748 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - First Regular Session

ticket sales; resellers; website requirements

HB 2748 requires ticket sellers (called "operators") to deliver electronic tickets to buyers immediately upon order confirmation. It defines key terms like "bot" (automated software mimicking human activity online, excluding browser features) and "operator" (the original seller of tickets for events like concerts or sports games). The bill aims to prevent automated bots from hoarding tickets by mandating direct delivery to purchasers, rather than allowing resellers to hold tickets. The bill failed to pass in the Arizona legislature on March 6, 2025.
