MAIN Event Ticketing Act

HR 2713, the MAIN Event Ticketing Act, requires ticket-issuing websites to implement stronger security measures to prevent automated bots from bypassing purchase limits and circumventing online ticketing rules. It directly affects ticket sellers (like major platforms) and their third-party service providers, mandating they establish technical safeguards, report security breaches within 30 days, and address circumvention incidents. Key provisions include requiring access controls to enforce purchase limits, creating a public complaint website for consumers, and imposing civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day for violations. The bill strengthens enforcement by the Federal Trade Commission, which will issue compliance guidance and oversee civil actions for non-compliance.
