About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

New Jersey regulates the resale of event tickets under its consumer-protection law (N.J.S.A. 56:8-33 et seq.), administered by the Division of Consumer Affairs. A registered ticket broker or agent who resells tickets above face value must register and file a bond.

The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee. It is conditioned on the broker’s compliance with the ticket-resale law — including the limit on resale premiums — and on the payment of damages to any person harmed by misrepresentation, fraud, deceit, or other unlawful act in the licensed business, and a promise that the broker and its agents won’t engage in fraud or extortion.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The $10,000 amount is set by statute, so every registered ticket broker files the same bond. We track it and notify you ahead of renewal so your registration never lapses.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the NJ ticket agent bond?The premium is $100, set by our carrier for this specific bond — not a percentage of the fixed $10,000 bond amount. The $10,000 is set by statute, so there is no quote process.

Do I pay the $10,000?No. You pay $100. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

Who requires this bond?The New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs, as a condition of registering as a ticket broker under N.J.S.A. 56:8-33 et seq. No active bond, no registration.

Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information to issue. It will not affect your score.

When does it renew?The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the ticket-broker registration. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your registration never lapses.

Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
