Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.

Ban on ticket bots and bot sales

The law bans willfully selling or using software that dodges ticket limits or security, including for presales. It also bans willfully selling tickets you got with that software. Violations count as illegal business practices under Oregon consumer law, and the state can enforce and seek penalties.

No fake official event websites

Without written permission, you may not willfully use a website domain that names an event, venue, or performer, or one that is very close. You may not willfully publish a site that looks like the venue’s or operator’s site or that says or implies it is “official.” A seating chart or a seat-view picture alone is allowed. Licensed or authorized partners may use these materials.

Resellers must hold tickets or contracts

Resellers and their affiliates may not offer or sell a ticket unless they have the ticket in hand (actual or constructive) or have a written contract with the event operator to get it from an authorized source. This targets speculative listings and protects buyers.

When these ticket rules start

These ticket rules take effect on the 91st day after the 2026 regular session adjourns sine die. That is when all of the above rules apply and can be enforced.
