senate 01/22/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to strengthen protections against automated bots that unfairly buy up event tickets online by requiring ticket sellers to implement and maintain stronger security measures, report bypass attempts promptly, and coordinate with law enforcement to keep online ticket sales fair and transparent for all consumers.

If this bill stops all those pesky innovation-driven bots, it might also stop progress; let the free market run free.

Big government cracking down on ticket sales again—next they’ll regulate your popcorn at the movies. Let the market decide who gets the tickets, not bureaucrats.

Watch out, here comes another law making it harder for honest businesses to stay afloat. Bots aren’t the problem, expensive ticket policies are.

Online ticket chaos is real; maybe this bill can untangle it without choking innovation. Balance is the name of the game here.

If it cuts down on scalpers and keeps the tech transparent, then I’m all for giving this a shot.

Stopping bots sounds great, but let’s watch how it’s enforced before we celebrate. Good idea if it actually levels the playing field.

Protecting consumers from shady bots? That's the kind of digital fairness we fight for every day. Good legislation kicks the profiteers out of the game.

Finally, a bill that says ‘no bots allowed’ — because fans should get tickets, not scalpers. Technology should serve the people, not price gougers.
