. Non-transferable tickets can’t be re-sold on secondary markets because the person who made the original purchase has to be present when entering the building; additionally, making non-transferable tickets fully digital allows for a constantly refreshing barcode that can’t be copied.
In their letter to Pascrell and Pallone, Pearl Jam stated that blocking non-transferable tickets makes it easier for scalpers to get their hands on tickets. “Over the last decade of selling concert tickets, we have seen this become an important tool to ensure our fans get to see us at a reasonable price,” the band said.
As for forcing ticket sellers to disclose the total number of tickets available to the general public, Pearl Jam argued that this “hurts consumers more than it will help.” The band noted that bulk purchasers, like professional resellers, care far more about the total number of tickets available than fans.
Despite the criticisms, Pearl Jam praised most of the reforms in the BOSS Act, writing, “We support the elements that prevent ‘speculative ticketing,’ where ‘bots’ hold many tickets until they find a buyer, preventing real fans from buying tickets directly and misleading others into thinking they’re guaranteed a particular seat.
