SB 1622 imposes new regulations on the online sale of event tickets to combat fraudulent practices and excessive fees. The bill prohibits the use of automated bots to purchase tickets in bulk and mandates that ticket sellers disclose all ancillary fees upfront before a purchase is completed. It also prevents ticket sellers from increasing prices during checkout and requires clear pricing information in advertisements. The Texas Attorney General is authorized to enforce these provisions through civil penalties and injunctions​.
