BOTS BILL IS
JUST THE TICKET, SAYS CONGRESS

The Better Online Ticket Sales (BOTS) Act has cleared the House and Senate and now heads to the President's desk for his signature. The bipartisan bill, designed to curb scalping, gives the FTC and the states new powers to halt the ability of bots to hoover up the best tix and gouge them via resale. The Recording Academy praised the authors of the legislation, which it called "an important bill for ensuring artists get their tickets in the hands of fans, not scalpers."
