Lucas – Thank you so much to everyone who stepped up to keep progressives
tough in 2016! We can’t take anything for granted, and grassroots
supporters are key to Democrats’ success this year.
With the summer almost here, the weather -- and the election -- is heating
up. And that means many of us will be enjoying summer concerts or sporting
events. But too often, tickets for big events get bought up by ticket
scalpers and bot software they develop to purchase tickets in bulk.
That’s why I introduced legislation to make such methods illegal.
Hardworking people shouldn’t be stopped from buying tickets because
software programs beat them to the punch. Sign on to support my legislation
if you agree!
Whether it’s events at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, the Times Union Center, or even down in New York City, people deserve a fair shot at buying event tickets. But too often, software programs buy up event tickets in seconds, driving ticket prices to sky-high rates.
This legislation not only stops the use and sale of bot software, but it also empowers consumers to fight back against ticket price manipulations. It’s a commonsense solution, but we need support to get this bill signed into law.
Will you join me in supporting the end to these shady ticket sale practices? Add your name today!
Again, thank you for your support.
Paul
