HARRISBURG, Pa. — The Pennsylvania House has passed legislation to try to eliminate the problems fans encountered when trying to buy tickets to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour.

The bill would make it illegal to use or sell software that allows bots to buy tickets.
Bots can get around online sale systems, which allows for the tickets to be sold on secondary markets at much higher prices.
